Why FrAMchise Day ?

We would like to invite you to FrAMchise Day 09 - American Franchise Day, a presentation of succesful U.S. brands and ideas, an international franchising business meeting to be held on October 20, 2009 in Prague, magic heart of the Czech Republic. FrAMchise Day 09 includes U.S. franchising concepts trade-show, a conference, business meetings and an evening networking reception at the U.S. Ambassador's Residence, all in one day.

While franchising has proved successful in the Czech market, it is still very much an untapped market, with abundant opportunities across a wide spectrum of concepts. Some industry sectors are undergoing a restructuring and consolidation with best chances for franchised brands that prove most effective.

FrAMchise Day is a unique opportunity for U.S. franchising concepts to enter the Czech market and fill the untapped market niches. It is a place for U.S. franchising brands that wish to enter the Czech market using master franchising, area-development, or single units sales to present their concepts to the market and find new business partners.

There is no better opportunity than to meet face to face with prospective partners, investors and entrepreneurs. FrAMchise Day 09 provides the highest return on your investment.

FrAMchise Day is not only a presentation of successful U.S. business ideas and brands, but also a source of information and inspiration. FrAMchise Day will demonstrate that U.S. franchising brands have played a vital role in forming of the Czech franchising industry.
