“This is arguably the most beneficial event I’ve been to in my 12+ years of franchising! Incredibly well organized with speakers and participants that were truly experts in their field. If I had to recommend one franchise event during the year to attend, this would be it.”
Ryan Combe, Better Way Franchise Group
“I didn’t know what to expect, as our contracted sales team told us that we had to attend. On their recommendation, we attended the 2018 Springboard Conference. I was amazed at the number of companies and executives that were in attendance and how open and willing they were to share what they did right on their journey as well as what they did wrong, so that we may avoid the mistakes that they made. It is a great conference and I am already looking forward to returning.”

Jason Blough, Solderfit
“I have attended many many conferences in my career, and this one was hands-down the best in terms of networking and learning. Guards are down and the conversations that I had were so much more valuable than at any other educational forum I’ve attended. Thank you for providing such a great atmosphere for growth!”
Jennifer, Out Of The Box Technology
“By far top two conferences of the year based on takeaway knowledge and fun factor. It is great to be a part of a group that cares about the industry so much as to share their knowledge with all the newcomers. As JFK said, “The rising tide lifts all the boats.”
Dan Collins I ❤Mac & Cheese
“As a NEW Franchisor, I found myself in need of advice and didn’t have a place to turn, I discovered SpringBoard online and registered for the conference. It was amazing, attending rigorous training sessions, seated side by side with folks who have already achieved success in franchising, and were all so willing to share. Highly recommend! The networking opportunities were stellar, the food fabulous and the venues for the networking events were held in local businesses or locations and it helped me feel like I was exploring Philly, while I was out on business!”

No topic or question is off-limits, you can get your toughest problems and most complicated questions resolved by just talking with other attendees.”

I also met so many open, wonderful people. I was so amazed by the amount of information that people shared. I am very excited by all the connections I made there.”
