TESTIMONIALS

Must attend conference! Provides a great format to learn, meet and network.
- Larry Myer, Retail Consultant, FC Dadson

Why would you want to play phone tag chasing people when most of your target audience is in once place for three days.
- John Campbell, SVP Business Development, Banking Syndicators of America

Great show, high quality individuals attend. A strong way to get a pulse on what is happening with the leaders in franchising.
- Tim Johnson, President, Process Peak

Best, most intimate franchising conference of the year.
- Tadd Olson, Managing Partner, Kiekenapp & Associates

Captive audience for our target market!
- Ronald Feldman, Siegel Capital

Great conference as usual!
- Rick Batchelor, ZeeWise

I attended over a dozen franchise conferences and events each year and Franchise UPDATE's annual Leadership and Development Conference is my personal favorite. It attracts the leaders in the industry while still being a small enough event to really network with people and share ideas. And the content is always a great mix of high-level inspirational speakers, as well as more hands-on, actionable material.
- Eric Stites, Franchise Business Review

This convention continues to deliver accurate and useful content , reliable resources and great learning opportunities! As a service provider, it can't be missed!
- Mariel Miller, ExtraOrdinary Outcomes! Franchise Performance Systems

The right audience for our product.
- Jim Graf, The Wall Street Journal
