Joe Sieve, 2024 FLDC Chairman, chief restaurant development and operations officer, Papa Johns:

“Each of the sessions I sit in and listen, there is something new to be learned because there is so much happening across the industry and things are changing so quickly.” 

2024 FLDC Keynote Speaker Chris Rollins:

“During my keynote this year, I am going to share practical strategies to help you build more connected, trusted, responsive franchise environments. This is critical for executives, CEOs, and brand presidents who are steering their brands toward future growth.”  

Kim Collier, chief development officer, Ducklings Early Learning Center: 

“My only expectation was that it was going to be fantastic, and so far, so good. You should absolutely attend. It is definitely worth it.”

Shane Evans, CEO of Massage Heights, on attending the CEO Summit at the FLDC:

“I always get value out of the CEO Summit. Whether it is companies that are five units or companies with over a thousand, there is a lot of diversity and experience in the room. It is awesome to be able to collaborate and hear what others are doing to improve and help their franchisees.”

The FLDC provides the forum for these impactful conversations with inspiring keynote speakers, expert panel presentations, peer-to-peer problem-solving workshops, and plenty of networking time to catch up with old friends and make new contacts.
