The National Franchise Show Houston will be held for two days on June 7-8, 2025 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, Texas.
Since its first event in 2015, the trade show has become famous for its unique selling point of focusing on the franchise business model. The show will continue to provide aspiring entrepreneurs, investors and anyone interested in franchising with an ideal entrepreneurial stepping stone, bringing together practical knowledge sharing, direct networking opportunities and personalized consultation.
The show is carefully organized by National Event Management Inc., an experienced Canadian company. For many years, the company has focused on organizing high-quality trade and consumer exhibitions in North America, and the National Franchise Show Houston is part of its eponymous series of exhibitions held in major cities in the United States and Canada, each tailored to regional markets and industry-specific focuses.
The core topics of the show revolve around the creation and operation of a franchise business, including the choice of business model, financing options (such as 401(k) conversions or Small Business Administration loans), as well as the legal basis and the importance of being well prepared before signing a contract, with a special emphasis on strategic planning, realistic success forecasts, and avoiding common pitfalls. Expert-led workshops and presentations ensure a strong practical orientation.
Exhibitors showcase both established and innovative franchise concepts across a wide range of industries, including food service, retail, healthcare, education, financial services, and B2B/B2C services. Exhibitors include well-known franchisors, start-ups, and professional consultants looking for the right partners to expand and enter the market. The audience is equally diverse, including funded career changers, growth-minded entrepreneurs, and investors who want to grow by working with proven business models.
Houston adds an extra boost to the show. This economically strong and culturally diverse metropolitan area offers excellent conditions for entrepreneurship. The conveniently located George R. Brown Convention Center is easily accessible by car and public transportation. Anyone considering embarking on the path to self-employment through a proven and supported business model will find valuable insights here, as well as direct access to decision-makers in the franchise industry, making attendance at the show a truly worthwhile investment.
