## Story

The health and well- being of our guests, clients, and team is our top priority. The evolving circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, corporate travel bans and large group cautions led to this decision.

All details of the conference remain the same, but at a later date. Keynote speakers Astronaut Captain Scott Kelly and Kevin O’Leary, venture capitalist and investor on ABC’s Shark Tank, have reconfirmed they will speak at the event.

“We made the decision to move the conference date out of an abundance of caution and concern for our customers. We will execute the same great event experience you anticipate, just a little later.” said Gary Gardner, Chairman of Franchise Update Media.

“Some franchisees are experiencing a slowing in sales as a result of COVID-19. We will all be ready to get back to normal business when this is over, he added. We look forward to providing a forum for everyone to engage in great networking, content and an exhibit hall full of new franchise brands and business services. We’ll see you in August!”
