IFE 2011 MAPS FRANCHISING'S FUTURE GROWTH
The Right Place at the Right Time...
With the spotlight firmly on South Africa after our incredible hosting of the FIFA Soccer World Cup, franchising is poised to take off as the country uses that impetus to grow its economy. South Africa is at the centre of change and innovation in Africa. It is the powerhouse of Africa, the business success of the continent and the country that is paving the way for future economic growth for both our own country and the continent. The turning point in Africa's future lies with private enterprise and small business development and FASA, through the IFE 2011 Expo, is planning to bring together the many players who can make a difference through franchising - in order to create wealth, transfer skills and create employment.
Showcasing the Best of the Best...
IFE 2011, which takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg from the 26 -28th May 2011 will be Africa's franchise window to the world - reflecting a wide range of business sectors - from fast food to automotive products; from home services to education; from business-to-business services to entertainment and leisure; from retail to real estate. At the Expo you will find low-entry level franchise opportunities that will help grow the SMME sector to premium branded franchise opportunities with proven track records. The support element of financial, legal, IT and marketing will also be part of the Expo. If you have a franchise company or are considering going the franchise route, then you must talk to us and be seen at IFE 2011.
Attracting the Right Visitors...
Investing in your future is what franchising is all about and IFE 2011 attracts aspiring entrepreneurs who are fed up working for other people and who are looking for new business challenges. As a dedicated franchise expo, IFE targets and attracts thousands of serious business people who want to own their own businesses, are looking for investment opportunities in franchising and who want to find out more about investing in a franchise.
Attracting International Interest...
Following the involvement of international countries such as the USA and France in 2010 and as a result of our raised global image, we expect to once again attract international exhibitors wanting to get into the lucrative franchise market in South Africa and use it as a springboard into the rest of Africa.
Exhibiting in the SA's Top Venue...
The Sandton Convention Centre, in the heart of Sandton's business district in Johannesburg, South Africa, has proved to be the ideal venue for IFE. Centrally situated, with ample and secure parking, this world-class exhibition centre is the perfect setting for the International Franchise Expo. Surrounded by all the major hotels and convenient shopping malls, the Sandton Convention Centre puts IFE in the centre of the buzz of Africa's most exciting city.
Educating on Franchising...
FASA will be running a Speaker's Corner which will feature talks on various subjects pertaining to franchising and funding. All your questions on franchising, funding and business in general will be answered at these sessions which are held daily. The talks are free to anyone visiting IFE – seating on a first come, first served basis.
FASA hosts Franchise Convention...
For the third year running, the Franchise Association of Southern Africa (FASA) which owns and presents IFE 2011 will be hosting a Franchise Convention which will give delegates insight into the latest developments in franchising as well as offer insights into socio economic, political, legislative and marketing scenarios that may affect franchising on a local and global level.
