NEW
YORK, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
International Franchise Expo ("IFE"), the largest premier
franchise show in the U.S., is returning to the Javits Center
May 30-June 1. The event is hosted
each year by MFV Expositions and Comexposium ("MFV"), the
nation's leader for more than 32 years in connecting the
franchising world with motivated entrepreneurs. Registration is now
available for FREE to those who use code NYC2024 when registering

In a year when franchising is projected to grow by at least
15,000 units while adding approximately 221,000 jobs (SOURCE: 2024
Franchising Economic Report), IFE provides a unique "one-stop-shop"
opportunity to connect aspiring business owners with the hottest
franchise brands at every investment level and across every
industry.
"Franchising proved its resilience once again this past year,
exceeding projections with 2.2% growth and an output of nearly
$860 billion despite economic
challenges presented in 2023. We expect 2024 will still bring even
more growth," said Matt Haller, CEO
of the IFA. "Behind franchising's significant economic impact are
the small business owners who make up the franchise community, and
IFE provides a means for more of these entrepreneurial individuals
to connect with growing brands eager to welcome new partners
looking to serve their communities by going into business for
themselves, but not by themselves."
Exclusively partnered with the International Franchise
Association ("IFA") and supported by the U.S. Department of
Commerce as one of a limited number of expos in the world to
participate in the International Buyer Program, IFE brings together
attendees from 120+ countries, 300+ exhibiting franchise brands and
industry experts presenting across 70+ educational seminars for
networking, education, business development and more.
In addition to the massive exhibition hall, IFE also features
exclusive and original programs, including:
- Morning Masterminds and Mimosas with Benetrends
Financial – On Friday, May 31,
prior to the exhibit hall opening, exhibiting franchisors can
participate in a Morning Masterminds and Mimosas roundtable
discussion to hear about new ideas and insights on topics such as
marketing, finance, legal, business development and more.
- Emerging Pavilion – Reserved exclusively for emerging
franchisors, brands with 10 units or less can showcase their brands
at the Emerging Pavilion, a busy location on the trade show
floor.
- Business Resource Center – Business suppliers and
vendors that cater exclusively to the franchising industry can be
found in this dedicated section of the expo floor.
- IFE Unplugged – The franchise industry's wildly popular
Social Geek Radio will be conducting live podcast interviews direct
from the trade show floor.
Numerous workshops and panel discussions led by renowned
influential speakers are also on tap at IFE, including popular
sessions like The A-Zs of Buying a Franchise; Minorities
in Franchising; Franchise Your Business; and
Franchising 101: Exploring The Franchise Business Model For
Veterans, Women and Members of Diverse of Underserved Communities
and Other Aspiring Entrepreneurs.
Attendees can build their own unique conference experience by
selecting from a variety of seminars to attend from the three-day
event's agenda here.
"After the successful first franchising event of 2024 in
Los Angeles at Franchise Expo
West, which saw a 55% increase in attendance compared to the prior
year's show, we anticipate that IFE 2024 will be one of our most
successful shows yet," said Martin
Joksimovic, President of MFV Expositions. "We look forward
to welcoming exhibitors and attendees alike from all over the world
to our ultimate epicenter for exploring diverse franchise concepts,
forging strategic partnerships and capitalizing on emerging trends
shaping the future of business ownership."
