The event takes place at Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
The listed attendee groups include franchisees and business owners.
It is most useful for aspiring business owners comparing franchises and business opportunities, since the two-day expo puts many brands in one hall and runs free seminars on legal advice, financing and government assistance programs. Exhibitors are there to recruit buyers, so expect sales conversations; existing franchisees or experienced operators seeking peer-level industry content would get less from it.
Visitors to franchise expos usually wear business casual, since they are meeting franchise representatives face to face, and comfortable shoes help on a convention center floor.
