Franchising Expo

🚀 Supporting Women in Franchising! This morning, the Franchising Expo team attended a special Women in Franchising breakfast at the Amora Hotel, Richmond, hosted by the FCA Vic-Tas Women in Franchising committee, Vanessa Wilmot and Louise Wolf. The event featured an inspiring keynote from Kerri Wane, CEO of San Churro and the current FCA Franchise Woman of the Year, who shared her incredible journey in senior leadership—both domestically and internationally. Kerri’s insights on breaking down barriers in franchising and leadership were both powerful and thought-provoking. These events are a fantastic way to connect, learn, and support the continued growth of women in the franchising sector. A big thank you to the Franchise Council of Australia for facilitating such an important conversation! #FranchisingExpo #WomenInFranchising #Leadership #FranchiseSuccess #Networking #BusinessGrowth #FranchiseCommunity

Another great day at the international franchising conference in Las Vegas. We started at 6am with a welcome breakfast followed by an amazing workshop on AI and its application to business. The ability of AI agents to analyse a business and give strategic advice is just extraordinary. For a franchise it can help with recruitment, systems, marketing and customer service. You just need to know what data to supply and what questions to ask. We are here to learn and see what we can bring back to the Franchising Expo in Australia. #IFE2025

This week the franchising expo team are attending the International Franchising Association conference in Las Vegas along with 40 other Australian delegates. It is a great chance to keep up with global trends, make new connections and bring new ideas back to the local events. The conference started on Sunday with a welcome session for Australian and New Zealand delegates including an overview of the US Market. It was followed by a Superbowl party where we watched the Eagles smash the Chiefs. The franchising sector in the US is huge and growing at 5% which is faster than the rest of the economy. There were 468 new chains launched in the US in the last year and the industry has a very positive outlook. Unlike Australia there are lots of lending options and government support for small business lending. Franchise recruitment is very sophisticated and includes tradeshows. Another trend is mega franchisees with the top 472 owners owning 66,000 outlets. The main conference starts today with over 200 speakers and 3000 delegates. Popular sessions include marketing, franchisee recruitment and the practical use of AI in management and store operations. Speakers include leaders of the top global franchising chains and special guests including James Clear who authored Atomic Habits and Bruce Mehlman who is a political commentator and strategist based in Washington DC. A fabulous opportunity to engage and learn more about the wonderful world of franchising - and how it helps people all over the world to achieve financial and personal success.
