What Our Attendees Are Saying...

“‘Powering franchise growth through technology and leadership’ is an amazing

tagline for this conference and a great challenge for all of us.”

– Matt Friedman, Wing Zone

“There’s so many leaders here that have great stories to share and so much

learning to glean from their experiences…I’ll continue to encourage my peers

and the leadership team to make sure that we’re participating on an annual

basis. Absolutely, I wouldn’t miss the next one.” – Dennie Laney, MOOYAH

“If you’re a franchisee, a franchisor or a vendor who would like to connect with

people, this is the event to be. The event was very cool.”

– Moe Ali Khawala, Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill

“Networking has been great! Over the past few years we’ve met several people

who we kind of started a partnership with. So that’s been really nice. I would

definitely recommend coming. I will be back next year.”

– Alison Corbett, Sub Station II

“Definitely one of the more impressive conferences I have attended. I enjoyed

speaking and overall had a great experience.”

– Keith Peterson, VERTS Mediterranean Grill

“It’s relevant. It was highly interactive and engaging. I didn’t feel like I was

inundated with vendors trying to sell me things. Instead, it was a lot more about

knowledge sharing and thought leadership, which I really appreciated. I really

enjoyed it. I would definitely come back and I would recommend it.”

– Kimberly Brastad, Dairy Queen

“It’s been excellent! There’s been a lot of good content coming from the stage.

There’s been many opportunities to engage with the attendees and it’s just given

me a lot to think about. It’s easy just to talk to people. I found that to be very

comfortable for me and very comfortable for the restaurateurs and to be able to

understand what are their problems and how can we help them.”

– Tim Tang, Hughes Network Systems

“They were not giving just general overviews of what’s happening with them. They

were giving specific examples and being very transparent of what’s happening

with their business. I really think that is what’s needed in order to have the

industry grow. It’s a great place to be if you’re in restaurant franchising.”

– Karen Wenning, Suttle Straus

“It’s kind of a two-way street where you both get to see what they’re talking about

but then also get to have this conversation with them and tell them how you can

provide value towards those goals. I’ll definitely push for us to be back next year. I

was here last year. Had a great time again. I’ll be back.”

– Kevin Murray, Momentfeed

“As sponsors, we really appreciate all the hard work your team put into this event.

The conference was great and we were very happy with all the people we met.”

– Barbara Safina, Cockrell Enovation

“It was a pleasure to attend a Networld Media Group event! I’m really impressed

with the accuracy and quality of organizing this event and I should say that it’s a

pleasure to work with you, for real.”

– Sasha Kolesova, LoyaltyPlant
