Those of you considering buying into a franchise or franchising your business are going to be very interested in the 15th Annual International Franchise Expo, sponsored by the International Franchise Association. I spotted the ad for this expo in the May 2006 edition of Entrepreneur magazine -- it sure looks like a doozy!
The expo is being held at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC during the first week of June.
Sponsors include:
- Entrepreneur Media, Inc.
- USA Today
- Franchise International
- Franchising World
- Michael H. Seid & Associates, LLC
- Franchise Times
According to the website there are hundreds of exhibitors, including companies like 1-800-Flowers.com, Gymboree Play & Music, and Two Men And A Truck, and representatives from the US Small Business Administration, USA Today and legal firms.
Attendees can select from one of three main tracks (Buying a Franchise, Franchising Your Business or Acquiring a Master Franchise) as well as free seminars and specialty seminars focused on the needs of veterans, minorities and women in business.
You can learn more about this expo at their website, of course, or you can register by calling 201-226-1130 x 841. Be sure to tell them SmallBizMentor.com sent you their way!
