Top 5 Reasons Why the FBR Summit Is a MUST for Professional Development

1. No boring panels here! Our interactive sessions will get you fired up AND having fun. From game shows to snowball fights to giant Jenga, check out the highlights from past Summits.

2. SO many franchise rock stars, including not one, but TWO visionary keynotes. Antonio McBroom, a distinguished multi-unit, multi-brand business and real estate developer with Ben & Jerry’s and Starbucks locations across the Southeast, will knock your socks off with his take on C.E.O. Life, and we welcome back Scott Greenberg, author and franchise performance expert, to solve one of your franchisees’ biggest pain points: motivating and managing hourly employees. Watch the sneak peeks from Antonio and Scott.

3. Executive Summit exclusively for C-level and VP operations executives. 20 franchise leaders will have a unique experience working through the challenges facing their franchise ops teams alongside fellow execs and expert facilitators. While you’re at it, why not bring your team? Here are three reasons your whole franchise operations team should attend the Summit. Plus, we offer group discounts!

4. The most actionable franchise operations event on the planet. We require every speaker to pack their session with takeaways that will have you learning from some of the most experienced franchise pros. Visit the FBR Blog for thought leadership articles from some of our session presenters, including Location3, AC Inc., Soccer Shots’ JoBen Barkey, and more. Check out the agenda for all the jam-packed sessions the Summit has to offer.

5. Crazy-good networking. The Summit is a small, intimate event, which means you can connect personally with the speakers as well as network with fellow attendees about what they’re doing to provide world-class support to their franchisees.

Don’t worry, we saved some time for fun, too. It’s Denver…how could it NOT be fun? We have a special Mile High Mixer planned at one of Denver’s premier hotspots, complete with signature cocktails and mocktails, award-winning cuisine, and friendly competition in the pong hall.
