Top franchise brands will get together this week with entrepreneurs, investors, and small business owners from across the globe at the Multi-Unit Franchise Conference in Las Vegas.
If you’re attending the show, check out the app that Franchise Update Media has put together. It’s the best mobile app I’ve used yet for a conference and includes full access to connect with other attendees as well as publishing content to public channels such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Also, I’ll be broadcasting this week’s Social Geek Radio show and podcast live from the expo hall. Please stop by the Manalto booth and say hello! I would love to hear about your experiences at the MUFC.
