Dates Released for Charlotte, New York City, Los Angeles and Austin Franchise Shows
MFV Expositions and Comexposium have scheduled their inaugural Charlotte, N.C., trade show for early April. It will be followed by franchise expos in New York City, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. These events are designed to introduce thousands of prospective business owners to emerging and established franchises. Altogether, MFV Expositions says that these four expos will showcase more than 500 exhibitors and that visitors may choose to attend any of the dozens of workshops on franchise-related topics that are integrated into the shows’ agendas.
Franchise conferences serve as information central for attendees and provide significant benefits to brands. According to the company Trade Show Labs, trade show attendees are 72% more likely to buy from an exhibitor they have interacted with at a trade show than from a competitor they’ve never met. (Trade Show Labs offers various services such as strategy development and data analysis to businesses and helps them create interactive trade show experiences.)
