Franchise CEO Summit – Staying Relevant

Wednesday, September 22
CEOs and Presidents only!

Boost your Franchise Leadership & Development Conference experience with this intensive and exclusive pre-conference workshop for franchise CEOs and presidents.

Come to the conference a day early for a very important workshop taking place the day before this year's Franchise Leadership & Development Conference in Atlanta. The 3rd annual Franchise CEO Summit provides a very private, high-level, and interactive environment for franchise CEOs to have strategic business conversations that typically wouldn't, or simply couldn't, take place anywhere else.

The Franchise CEO Summit is designed to help you achieve your goal of building a truly great company. This program provides the environment to solve tough issues, exchange ideas, develop best practices, and discover how to respond to make-or-break decisions. Attending Franchise CEOs and Presidents gain a competitive edge by discussing critical issues with peers who are on the same firing line.

The Race to Stay Relevant is the theme of this year's summit. A new breed of CEOs that are also franchisees (or were franchisees) will share how their franchisee experiences significantly impact their leadership styles, company culture and growth strategies.....and how that experience is helping them keep their franchise organizations relevant.

Gain insight from these high-performing and experienced CEOs and Presidents:

  • Gordon Logan, Founder / CEO, Sport Clips Haircuts
  • Ken Hutcheson, President, U.S. Lawns
  • John Metz, Chair / CEO, Hurricane AMT

Through facilitated roundtables of attendee chosen topics, attendees will engage in high-powered discussions focusing on the strategic big picture and aspects of the leadership role often lost in today's fire-fighting atmosphere of most growth companies. Our focus on a customized agenda enables CEOs and Presidents to address real-time, bottom-line issues so the payback is measurable.

This is the perfect forum for sharing intellectual capital and ideas in the face of today's economic challenges. (Attendees will be engaged with non-competing brands.)
