50 franchise brands from the Food & Hospitality, Retail, Services and B2B sectors will also be presented. Business meetings with the Franchisors will be scheduled in advance.
Kit Brinkley, the forum Director said "The Delegate ticket price per person of AED 800 offers great value for 2 days of content. We want to inform delegates about the dynamic and ever growing franchise sector and bring new franchises to the region."
The forum includes 1 to 1 meetings with franchisors and speakers and lunch on each day. World Franchise Associates' experts are also available to discuss your interests in franchising.
Here is some feedback from the last Dubai International Franchise Forum:
