NiteLites Franchise Systems, the Landscape Lighting Professionals, attends International Franchise Association Annual Convention

NiteLites Franchise Systems attended the 47th annual International Franchise Association Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The convention, with the theme "Building the Future Together", was held at the end of February 2007. The premier educational and networking event for the franchise industry hosted over 3,100 attendees, an increase of 500 over the previous year.

The International Franchise Association convention offers participants the opportunity to remain current on the latest strategies and best practices in the franchise industry through formal sessions, and through informal networking. The annual gathering has been the primary venue for top executives, franchise development teams, financial officers, and all others who play a significant role in the Franchising industry. The convention featured concurrent sessions on marketing, assessing franchise candidates, international expansion, and many more relevant topics.

President and CEO, Thomas A. Frederick relayed that he and his staff "always find enormous benefit" from attending this conference. Mr. Frederick, went on to say "This year was the most valuable year ever. I expect the tactical strategies and the solutions we identified among the exhibitors to enhance our overall franchise system with measurable gains." Regarding the networking experiences, Mr. Frederick said "You just don't find the caliber of business people and C level executives any where else. It is unbelieveable that franchise superstars like Subway's Fred Deluca, Home Instead Senior Care's Paul Ross Hogan, and many many more were networking informally at before and after presentations……….. more formally by heading up the executive round tables sharing their business acumen."
