Franchise Update To Host Master Franchise Summit at Franchise Expo Paris

Franchise Update Media, in partnership with Franchise Expo Paris, will present an all-day Master Franchise Summit on March 20, 2023. The debut of this exclusive event—dedicated to multi-unit and master franchisees seeking new concepts—is by invitation only. Request your invitation here.

The all-day Summit, which provides educational sessions from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., includes an opportunity to meet with 20 French and international brands. At the conclusion of the sessions, participants are invited on a guided tour of the Expo (4 to 5 p.m.) followed by free networking time on the show floor (5 to 7 p.m.). The Master Franchise Summit wraps up with a closing networking cocktail night from 7 to 11 p.m. on the Rooftop of Mama Shelter West.

In addition to the 20 brand presentations and related discussions, the sessions will conclude with a look at international retail trends for multi-unit and master franchisees.

The entire Expo runs from March 19–22. As of February 6, 537 exhibitors were registered. Changes to this year’s show include a move to the larger Pavilion 1 of Porte de Versailles and a sectorized layout with exhibitors divided into 10 main zones. The main new feature will be the presence of 7 pitch zones hosted throughout the day by franchise brands along with a franchisee to present their opportunity to potential candidates.
