Some of the fastest growing chains in the restaurant industry are the ones embracing

innovation throughout their operations. The Restaurant Franchising & Innovation

Summit will explore how restaurant chains can leverage innovation in a variety forms

-- from experience innovation to kitchen innovation to menu innovation and beyond

-- as a catalyst for franchise expansion.

By continually investigating and investing in cutting-edge solutions for both the front

of house and back of house, franchisors put themselves in a very strong position to

attract potential franchisees who are seeking opportunities with forward-thinking

brands.

The Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit will help franchisors be more

progressive in many areas of their business to attract both investors and customers.

Some of the topics that may be addressed include:

About the Summit

• In-store technology

• Customer engagement

• Marketing and branding

• Promotion and loyalty programs

• Menu development

• Kitchen design

• Restaurant operations

• Franchise development

• Financing

• Employee recruitment and training

• Supply chain management


Come visit us in Louisville!

Networld Media Group is excited to bring the Restaurant Franchising &

Innovation Summit to our home city -- Louisville, Kentucky.

Not only is Louisville home to restaurant industry giants like YUM! Brands and

Papa John’s Pizza, it also boasts a strong and growing foodie scene. We expect

many of these independent restaurant operators will welcome the opportunity to

attend the Summit in their own backyard.

We think you’re going to love Louisville just as much as we do. Here are just a

few things to do in the city and surrounding Bluegrass Region while you’re here:

Churchill Downs & The Kentucky Derby Museum -- A visit to the museum

includes a tour of Churchill Downs and a showing of The Greatest Race, a one-

of-a-kind 360-degree, high deinition ilm.

The Bourbon Trail -- Distilleries that are open to visitors include Four Roses,

Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Wild Turkey and Woodford Reserve.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory -- See bats used by legends such as

Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Hank Aaron and tour the factory

where bats are still made for today’s major leaguers.

Muhammad Ali Center -- This interactive museum looks at the life and career

of the Louisville native that came to be known as “The Greatest.”

Belle of Louisville -- Take an Ohio River dinner cruise on the 100 year-old Belle

of Louisville, America’s last true Mississippi river steamboat still in operation.

What Our Attendees Are Saying...

“‘Powering franchise growth through technology and leadership’ is an amazing

tagline for this conference and a great challenge for all of us.”

– Matt Friedman, Wing Zone

“There’s so many leaders here that have great stories to share and so much

learning to glean from their experiences…I’ll continue to encourage my peers

and the leadership team to make sure that we’re participating on an annual

basis. Absolutely, I wouldn’t miss the next one.” – Dennie Laney, MOOYAH

“If you’re a franchisee, a franchisor or a vendor who would like to connect with

people, this is the event to be. The event was very cool.”

– Moe Ali Khawala, Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill

“Networking has been great! Over the past few years we’ve met several people

who we kind of started a partnership with. So that’s been really nice. I would

deinitely recommend coming. I will be back next year.”

– Alison Corbett, Sub Station II

“Deinitely one of the more impressive conferences I have attended. I enjoyed

speaking and overall had a great experience.”

– Keith Peterson, VERTS Mediterranean Grill

“It’s relevant. It was highly interactive and engaging. I didn’t feel like I was

inundated with vendors trying to sell me things. Instead, it was a lot more about

knowledge sharing and thought leadership, which I really appreciated. I really

enjoyed it. I would deinitely come back and I would recommend it.”

– Kimberly Brastad, Dairy Queen

“It’s been excellent! There’s been a lot of good content coming from the stage.

There’s been many opportunities to engage with the attendees and it’s just given

me a lot to think about. It’s easy just to talk to people. I found that to be very

comfortable for me and very comfortable for the restaurateurs and to be able to

understand what are their problems and how can we help them.”

– Tim Tang, Hughes Network Systems

“They were not giving just general overviews of what’s happening with them. They

were giving speciic examples and being very transparent of what’s happening

with their business. I really think that is what’s needed in order to have the

industry grow. It’s a great place to be if you’re in restaurant franchising.”

– Karen Wenning, Suttle Straus

“It’s kind of a two-way street where you both get to see what they’re talking about

but then also get to have this conversation with them and tell them how you can

provide value towards those goals. I’ll deinitely push for us to be back next year. I

was here last year. Had a great time again. I’ll be back.”

– Kevin Murray, Momentfeed

“As sponsors, we really appreciate all the hard work your team put into this event.

The conference was great and we were very happy with all the people we met.”

– Barbara Saina, Cockrell Enovation

with the accuracy and quality of organizing this event and I should say that it’s a

pleasure to work with you, for real.”
