Get the most out of Olympia Franchise Exhibition: 19th-20th March 2010
Joel Caws - Technical Director, Select Your Franchise
With the next franchise exhibition only a few days away, its time to get prepared to make sure you get the most out of it. The British and National Franchise Exhibition at Olympia, London on 19th-20th of March is an excellent way to meet franchisors face to face all under one roof. You get to ask questions and pick up useful information aswell as get a feel for the people behind any franchise opportunities that you might be interested in.
While it presents some excellent opportunities, there is usually in excess of 100 exhibitors making it a daunting task to find what you want. It can be a good idea to research some online franchise directories before you go so you have an idea of which types of franchise you are interested in. Then you can plan your route around the exhibition hall and not waste too much time.
There are also alot of helpful conferences on various topics to do with franchising which can be very helpful. These take place throughout the day so be sure to check out the timetable for this in exhibition programme so you can take time to attend any that are of interest.
