Skate Where the Puck Is Going To Be

Greetings fellow franchisees, I am honored and grateful to serve as the chairman for this year’s Multi-Unit Franchising Conference to be held April 25–28 in Las Vegas at Caesars Forum. I have been attending the conference for more than 20 years, and no other conference has had a bigger impact on my business more so than this one. Simply said, the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference is the best in franchising today—and I attend most of them!

Wayne Gretzky was one of the greatest hockey players of all time. When asked about his success as a player, he said, “I skate where the puck is going to be, not where it’s been.” The Multi-Unit Franchising Conference is where the puck is going to be.

We all read books, listen to podcasts, and attend conferences for the purpose of making effective decisions today that will bring us the best results tomorrow. At the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, you’ll have the opportunity to learn what is coming next and what the future holds for our businesses. You’ll leave better prepared to respond to and face the challenges and opportunities of operating a franchise business in today’s environment.

There’s a common saying that has become almost cliched: “Your network is worth more than your net worth.” At the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, you’ll meet other high-performing franchisees and develop friendships and relationships you can learn from and that will help carry you forward, both personally and professionally. At no other gathering will you have the opportunity to meet as many like-minded individuals who are willing to share their knowledge and experience.

The Multi-Unit Franchising Conference will present you with many of today’s best resources and the latest opportunities in franchising. At no other conference will you have access to as many vendor resources to help run your business more efficiently and effectively, along with potential opportunities to fuel your future growth. I promise you—and I speak from experience—that this conference will energize and revitalize you like no other.

You’ll return ready to inspire and motivate your team to see the bigger picture and be better prepared to navigate your business into the future. And, who knows? You may just find that next opportunity.
