Accurate Franchising, a leading franchise development consulting firm, hosted its annual Franchise Forward Conference from June 24–26 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The event brought together more than 20 franchisor clients for three days focused on education, collaboration, and strategic planning. Designed to help franchisors advance their businesses with clarity and momentum, the conference addressed key areas including franchise sales, scalable operations, marketing, leadership, franchise resales, and emerging tools shaping the future of franchising.
Attendees heard from experienced franchise executives and industry leaders who shared practical insights and proven best practices. Speakers included Ray Titus, Chairman and CEO of United Franchise Group, who discussed building a franchisor legacy; Austin Titus, President of Accurate Franchising, who presented on vision for growth and the state of franchising; and Michael White, Chief Development Officer and Director of Global Franchising at United Franchise Group, who covered franchise sales. Other sessions featured Brady Lee, Chief Operating Officer at United Franchise Group, on franchise resales; Christina Parsons, Chief Marketing Officer, on digital marketing; and Jim Butler, Vice President of International Development, on international expansion.
“Our clients stepped away from their day-to-day operations to spend three days at our headquarters immersed in the strategies, insights, and best practices that drive franchise success,” said Austin Titus. “Hearing directly from experienced franchise leaders and industry experts provided attendees with actionable ideas they can implement both immediately and in the long term, while reinforcing the ongoing support and resources they receive as Accurate Franchising clients.”
The conference also included interactive roundtable discussions, networking opportunities, and a vendor tradeshow, all designed to help franchisors apply these strategies within their own organizations. As part of the United Franchise Group (UFG) family of affiliated brands and consultants, Accurate Franchising clients benefit from the expertise of a global franchise organization with more than four decades of industry experience.
