FRANCHISING TOPICS FOR 2015 FORUM IN NEW ORLEANS!

Message from Tami McKnew, Co-Chair for 2015 Annual Meeting:

Andrew Loewinger and I are co-chairs for the 2015 Annual meeting in New Orleans. We're already hard at work to make the 2015 Forum another great one. But we need your help.

Your program topic suggestions are vital to the success of every Forum. What do you want to know about? What are the emerging issues affecting franchising? What are some recurrent challenges? In short, what would you like us to consider presenting in 2015?

Please send us your topic ideas by NOVEMBER 9 - that's just a couple of short weeks from now! Please send a proposed title, brief (3-4 sentence) description of the topic and suggested speakers to:

"[email protected]"
And
"[email protected]"

Thank you for helping us to make 2015 in New Orleans as successful as 2014 in Seattle.
