Our events are designed to deliver high-impact learning in multiple formats so every marketer gets value:
This mix of formats ensures that you’ll receive both big-picture strategy and practical, hands-on takeaways, while also connecting with others in the franchise community.
Dedicated time to connect with fellow franchisors, suppliers, and thought leaders. Whether it’s during breaks, meals, or the closing reception, you’ll build relationships that last long after the event ends.
> Networking
Interactive small-group discussions where you can dive deeper into specific challenges, exchange best practices, and learn directly from peers.

From Brand Builder to Business Leader: Why Marketing Is the New CEO Pipeline
For years, marketers were viewed as the storytellers of the business. Today, they are becoming the operators, strategists, and growth drivers companies need in the leadership seat. Hear from the CEO of MassageLuXe as she shares her path from marketing leader to CEO and makes the case for why marketers are uniquely positioned to lead companies.
This session will break down what marketing leaders should be doing now to move into broader business leadership. From building financial fluency and operational credibility to understanding unit economics and influencing across departments. For CMOs and marketing leaders ready for a bigger role, this conversation goes beyond campaigns to what it really takes to run the business.
How AI Is Transforming Franchise Development: From Lead Scoring to Relationship Building
Rick Batchelor will present on a franchisor panel, How AI Is Transforming Franchise Development: From Lead Scoring to Relationship Building, focused on where AI is actually adding value across lead management, outreach, and candidate nurturing.
The conversation will lean into practical, real-world applications—how brands are using AI today to improve lead scoring, personalize messaging, streamline territory checks, and create more relevant, persona-driven marketing—while still maintaining authentic, relationship-driven development processes.
Plus!
AI is changing faster than most marketing teams can keep up — which is exactly why we’re bringing back a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop designed for marketers who want to learn by doing.
Because the AI landscape evolves almost daily, the exact workshop topics will be refined closer to the event to ensure attendees are learning the most relevant tools, tactics, and real-world applications happening right now, not what was trending six months ago.
This is not a sit-back-and-watch session. Bring your laptop, get your AI hands dirty, and come ready to experiment. This optional add-on workshop takes place before the FML event and is the perfect way to kick off the week with hands-on learning and fresh ideas.
