2017 Multi-Unit Franchising Conference!
It’s never too early to start planning to join your peers at the
17th annual Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, next
April at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Attendees at the 2016
conference overwhelmingly said it was a useful, worthwhile
experience and plan to return next year. Total attendance,
which topped 1,300, included more than 550 franchisees
who collectively accounted for more than 12,000 operating
units, $8.5 billion in annual revenue, and more than 100,000
jobs. This is a unique opportunity to attend the premier
multi-unit franchising event, meet and learn from the best
in the business, explore new brands, and soak up invaluable
expertise at the educational sessions. Need some inspiration

ONLINE VIDEOS
EmpireBuilders.tv Expands
Great entrepreneurs build great organizations. They possess
a knack for making smart business decisions, building great
teams, and creating successful companies. But as we’ve
learned from years of interviewing successful multi-unit
franchisees, they’ve also struggled, doubted, and made more
than a few mistakes—yet they’ve soldiered on, persevered,
and ultimately come out on top. To provide a deeper sense
of their journeys, insights, and personalities, we’re selecting
franchisees from our most inspiring print interviews and
creating a new series of online videos of these franchisee
leaders. We call them Empire Builders.www.franchising.

ROLE PLAYER
“I like franchising. It’s a beautiful
joint venture, where franchisors are
responsible for their piece of the pie—
the creation of concept, menu, training
manuals, building designs—and then
hand it to the franchisee and say, ‘Now
run with it.’”
—Dave Goebel, franchisee of Pie Five Pizza and
Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs
