Franchise Expo South (FES), the world's premier franchise showcase, provides a forum for one of the most comprehensive learning experiences about franchising to be conducted anywhere – a place to learn from the foremost experts in franchising.
The 2009 FES will feature a variety of Seminars and Symposia. It's a something-for-everyone educational experience, from basic how-to sessions to advanced, in-depth examinations of the different franchise relationships and how they affect potential franchisees and those looking to franchise an existing business. There is an entire track dedicated to three party franchising, as well as a track for current franchisors. So whatever your interest in franchising, there are FREE Seminars designed to your specific needs. Specialty Seminars are also FREE and focus on franchising opportunities for veterans, minorities and women.
For those who seek detailed, in-depth instruction, enrollment in one of these Symposia (three or more hours) is highly recommended. Each symposium, which requires a separate fee, is focused on providing information that is specific to a particular segment of the Expo audience. These Symposia are presented by some of the most respected and experienced professionals in the fields of franchising. They offer the practical, legal, strategic and financial issues involved; and show how to avoid the potential pitfalls; providing the knowledge necessary to successfully achieve one's objectives.
