The three-day show, held October 2-4, 2009, draws entrepreneurs from over twelve states throughout the western United States seeking franchise opportunities to the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA. Suppliers, franchisors, franchisees and prospective franchisees have the rare opportunity to meet face to face with one another. The conference also offers various Seminars and Symposia.
Franchising companies exhibiting at the WCFE come from an array of industries offering concepts at all investment levels. It is the ideal venue for: Franchising a current business or buying a franchise, building brand awareness, suppliers introducing their products to franchisors, meeting clients' in-person, networking, educating current and potential business owners and introducing financing options.
For franchisors, having a presence at the WCFE is an integral way for franchise companies to discover and connect with prospective franchise owners. Mona Liza Reyes, Director of Franchise Development for Blendz commented, "We have spoken with some real qualified prospects here at WCFE - the visitors are serious about starting their own business."
"It's important to exhibit at WCFE because we must meet prospects face to face and exhibiting at events like this is an absolute necessity for any franchisor in this industry," agrees Roni Deutch, President of Roni Deutch Tax Centers.
In addition to meeting qualified candidates, exhibitors and attendees benefit from the networking opportunities. "It's important to exhibit at Franchise Expo to let everyone know you are a franchise opportunity, to get your brand out there in front of the prospects, and also to network with our fellow franchisors," Shelby Corliss-Thomas, Director of Domestic Development for Nexcen Brands.
The WCFE is the most comprehensive conference on franchising held on the West Coast.
