    FRANCHISEE VIP PROGRAM

    Bring Your Best Franchisees to MUFC


    Your franchisees are the heartbeat of your brand and some of your strongest advocates. Bring them into the room, give them access to the industry's top multi-unit operators, and let their experience speak for your brand.

    NOMINATION DEADLINE
    April 16, 2027
    Submit your nominees before the deadline. Franchisee VIP nominations will not be accepted onsite.

    WHY IT MATTERS

    PUT YOUR BEST BRAND ADVOCATES IN THE ROOM

    Your franchisees are some of your most powerful brand advocates. When prospective franchisees are considering their next investment, they want to hear from the people who know your concept best—the operators who live it every day.

    The Franchisee VIP Program puts those conversations within reach. Through your complimentary VIP invitations, you can reward your top operators with valuable education and networking opportunities while giving prospective investors the chance to connect with the franchisees who can speak authentically about owning and growing with your brand.

    STRENGTHEN YOUR BRAND
    Let Your Operators Tell Your Story

    Your franchisees bring authenticity and firsthand experience that marketing materials can't replicate. Their stories help demonstrate what it means to grow with your brand.

    INVEST IN YOUR FRANCHISEES
    Give Them Opportunities to Grow

    Connect your operators with experienced multi-unit leaders, fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and relationships they can bring back to their businesses.

    BUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY
    Bring More Operators to the Table

    Every franchisee brings a different perspective. More operators mean richer discussions, stronger peer connections, and a more dynamic conference experience.

    Your best franchisees deserve a seat at the table.

    Use your complimentary VIP invitations to bring them to MUFC 2027. They'll gain valuable opportunities to learn and connect, and their participation will help make the conference stronger for everyone.


    THE FRANCHISEE VIP BENEFIT

    What Does a Franchisee VIP Receive?

    Approved Franchisee VIPs receive complimentary MUFC registration and access to the conference experience, including:

    ✓ Full Conference Registration
    ✓ Educational Sessions
    ✓ Exhibit Hall Cocktail Receptions
    ✓ Franchisee-Only Events
    Travel & hotel: Franchisee VIPs are responsible for booking and paying for their own travel and hotel accommodations.

    STEP 1  |  CHECK ELIGIBILITY

    Who Qualifies for a VIP Invitation?

    Every nominee must meet all of the following requirements:

    ✓
    Must be a franchisee. Franchisors and suppliers are not eligible. VIP invitations are non-transferable.
    ✓
    Must own and operate at least one franchise unit.
    ✓
    Cannot be an employee of the exhibiting or sponsoring company.
    ✓
    Cannot already be registered for MUFC.
    SPECIAL RULE: AREA DEVELOPERS

    A franchisee who also serves as an Area Developer qualifies only when attending as a franchisee of a different brand than the brand they represent as an Area Developer. An Area Developer and franchisee of the same brand does not qualify.


    STEP 2  |  FIND YOUR ALLOWANCE

    How Many Franchisees Can You Nominate?

    Your VIP nomination allowance depends on your exhibit or sponsorship package.

    EXHIBIT OR SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE
    VIPs
    10x10 Exhibit Space
    2
    Platinum Sponsor
    4
    Gold Sponsor
    3
    Keynote Speaker Sponsor
    3
    MVP Awards Sponsor
    3
    Luncheon Sponsor
    3
    Networking Lounge Sponsor
    3
    Franchisee-Only Event Sponsor
    3
    WiFi Sponsor
    2
    Mobile App Sponsor
    2
    Chairman's Dinner Sponsor
    2
    International Session Sponsor
    2

    Have both a booth and a sponsorship? Those VIP allowances are combined. For example, a Gold Sponsorship (3 VIPs) + 10x10 Exhibit Space (2 VIPs) = 5 total VIP nominations.
