Ted Laatz is President of SUCCESS® Space, a new franchise dedicated to creating an original kind of workplace that is socially, technically and locally innovative and savvy. Both franchisors are looking for new ideas and solutions to generate business and growth opportunities and are prepared to present their case studies at FES in order to collaboratively achieve that.
