Multi-Unit Franchisee Magazine Issue I, 2015 | Page 58

Hello Fellow Franchisees, Franchisors and Vendors, I would like to invite you to join me and many of the nation’s top leading franchisees, to the 15th Annual Multi-Unit Franchising Conference scheduled on April 8th-10th in bustling Las Vegas. This is a must-attend event for anyone serious about franchising, interested in doing business with, or learning from the most successful franchisees, franchisors and their supplier partners or investing in their success. This is a “who’s who” of franchising. It is where franchisees looking to grow by adding brands, units or territories go to network and look for the chance to finance their latest enterprises. Robert Branca Chairman MUFC 2015; President, Branded Management Group / President, Branded Realty Group The Multi-Unit Franchising Conference is designed to be an excellent educational and inspirational resource, providing panels of experts discussing current topics directly geared towards those invested in franchising. Whether you have a conversation with a mega-franchisee doing business in multiple states, or are inspired by the experienced roster of speakers, you will come away armed to better your own businesses. The people who attend The Multi-Unit Franchising Conference tend to do so regularly. These are the thought and action leaders in franchising who return time and time again, year after year for a reason: they know that this conference is the ideal platform for attendees to network, share and learn; it’s where franchisees continue their education and equip themselves for the next step in their franchising journey. Need another reason to attend? How about this: deals get done here. Franchisors and the most credit worthy, successful franchisees know the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference is where they’ll find capital, recruit talent and discover new products and technology. Given recent highly publicized events, perhaps the most discussed aspect of the 2015 Conference involves planning to navigate the coming headwinds facing our businesses. Whether in the labor, regulatory or operational spheres, becoming informed and developing a strategy are more critical than ever. These are unprecedented times, and the best place to prepare yourself is by being among the best in franchising. Best Regards, muf1_ads_temp.indd 56 1/15/15 7:09 PM
