There was music, drinks, hors d’oeuvres and good conversation.
Life at Play joined us and brought their photo station. It was a fun touch to the reception and a perfect ice breaker. Attendees were able to play dress up with big sunglasses, hats and boas and take funny pictures with each other.
Many brokers were able to finally meet face-to-face with franchisors that they have been working with all year. Everyone made sure to make introductions between people who didn’t know each other or that they knew would have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Cocktail and business card in-hand, this is the perfect kick-off event each year.
