The United Franchise Group, consisting of SIGNARAMA, EmbroidMe, Billboard Connection, Plan Ahead Events and FranchiseMart/Biz1Brokers, hosted its World Expo 2010 July 28-August 1
at the Marriott World Center Resort in Orlando, Florida. With around 1,000 attendees from over 15 countries and more than 200 vendors in attendance, it was an enormous success. The five-day event combined a two-day tradeshow with five days of various educational break-out sessions for franchisees.
All brands were brought together for one Expo to facilitate mentoring and networking. This was an opportunity to learn how others overcome challenges that they too face on the job to strengthen our brands globally. To that end, all franchisees had an opportunity to meet with and learn from the most experienced owners in the business and share information on potential cross-branding opportunities through both SIGNARAMA and EmbroidMe’s mentor programs.
The World Expo 2010 tradeshow filled the convention floorspace with over 200 of the best vendors in the industry such as Proveer Sign & Graphics, HP, ADP, Advertising Specialty Institute, Avery Dennison, Electro-matic Products Inc., and Norwood.
