Learn Industry Best Practices To Become a Successful Franchisor
Testimonials
I’ve been in franchising over 10 years and learn something new or take away a new piece of information at every event. Springboard is always terrific! Which is why I always attend. I’ve been in franchising for 35 years…and always come away with tons of tangible takeaways and great news contacts. I also get to connect with old friends. This format at this Springboard was the best yet. Less monologue and more dialogue than ever before. I’m happy to speak, but I learn something new when I listen…and get to interact with others. Springboard is the perfect conference for every emerging franchisor! Small enough to meet and start friendships with peers at a similar stage of development, and large enough to capture vision from brands who are miles ahead. This conference is exactly what we were looking for to grow our small brand to the next level! What an inspirational, idea-packed and investment-worthy event for anyone involved with emerging (and re-emerging) franchisors. So much collaborative energy, sharing and camaraderie made this the BEST SPRINGBOARD EVER! This event brings together some of the best minds in the franchise category with a willingness to share their triumphs and tragedies in their careers. Often, it's easy to fall into a trap as an emerging brand. The sharing of "here is what I learned when I was an emerging brand" can mean the difference between failure and success. Always a great event and I believe it is extremely valuable for an emerging franchise. The best way for an emerging franchisor to really get valuable info is through networking with other franchisors who have been around a while. I would recommend this event to anyone in franchising. If you're just starting out, there is a LOT of great content on a wide variety of topics. If you've been in franchising for a while, this event is great for networking and learning about changes in franchising. The Springboard Event in Philadelphia is hands-down the best resource in franchising. Whether you're a franchisee, a franchisor, an emerging brand, or one that's been around for 50 years, you'll learn something new at every turn. Fantastic event...content, staff and networking was amazing. Terrific value.
