Walking into the show can feel a little overwhelming, with so many brands, seminars, and people to connect with. A little preparation goes a long way, so here are a few simple tips to help you make the most of your day:

  • Do Your Homework – Take a look at the brands attending and highlight the ones you want to meet first.
  • Bring Questions – Think about what matters most to you, such as investment, training, support, and lifestyle fit.
  • Take Notes – You’ll meet many people and hear a lot of information, so jotting down key details will help later.
  • Stay Open-Minded – Sometimes the right opportunity comes from an industry you hadn’t considered before.
  • Bring Someone With You – A second perspective can be invaluable. Invite a friend, family member, or business partner to join you. CLICK HERE to invite a friend to the show!

Make the Most out of the Show

To get the most from the show, be sure to come prepared. Review the exhibitor list and highlight the brands you want to visit first. Bring a notebook and your Franchise Buyers’ Checklist to compare opportunities side by side. Plan which free seminars on financing, legal guidance, or ownership to attend so you don’t miss what matters most. Arrive with your own questions on investment, support, training, or lifestyle, and dress professionally but comfortably. Most importantly, take your time to network with franchisors, current owners, and other attendees, since these conversations often provide the most valuable insights.
