The Faegre & Benson LLP franchise team is proud to host a seminar for companies looking to expand their businesses through franchising. You will not want to miss this event if you started franchising within the last year or two, or have considered franchising as a viable way to grow your business.
Bob Gappa from Management 2000 and Brian Schnell, head of our franchise team, will start the day with an in-depth discussion on best practices to launch a franchise system and then successfully grow in the early years. Gappa and Management 2000 have worked with more than 1000 franchisors over the years. Schnell has been advising new and emerging franchisors for 22 years. Their insights will make a difference to your organization and brand.
Joe Keeley, the founder and CEO for College Nannies & Tutors, will be our keynote afternoon speaker and share his experiences on franchising's tremendous challenges and opportunities. Joe is one of the brightest young CEOs in franchising, and he will share what has worked for him and his franchise system and also what he would do differently.
John Boyens from the Boyens Group, a leading marketing firm working with several national franchisors, then will identify key best practices on how to build a compelling brand through franchisees fully engaged at the local level. Franchising can be a powerful way to grow and enhance your brand, but only if executed properly at every level. John will outline the steps to take for successful execution.
During our afternoon session we also will discuss the myriad legal issues that arise when launching and growing a franchise system.
Our promise is to deliver a best practices discussion that will make a difference to you and your organization.
