BAI Franchise Conference: How to Power Your Brand’s Momentum

by | Mar 25, 2025

Momentum can make or break a franchise brand. When things are clicking—strong sales, engaged franchisees, streamlined operations—growth feels almost effortless. But the moment things slow down? That’s when competition catches up, expansion stalls, and opportunities slip away.

Keeping that momentum alive is all about strategy, and that’s exactly what this year’s BAI Franchise Conference is built for.

If you’re serious about staying ahead, pushing your business forward, and ensuring your brand has momentum, then this is another franchise convention you need to be.

Why BAI Momentum 2025 Stands Out

The BAI Franchise Conference is about getting in the mix, engaging in high-level discussions, and walking away with actual strategies you can implement.

This is what you can expect:

  • Curated learning from industry leaders: learning labs, mastermind sessions, and discussions that cut through the fluff and focus on what’s working in franchising right now.
  • Powerful networking: With over 120 franchise partners and suppliers, this franchise expo is a wonderful chance to build relationships that can drive your business forward. They even have networking lunches!
  • “Accelerate, innovate, dominate”: From expert panels to deal-making conversations, this event is designed to move you from ideas to execution.

We know very well how impactful franchise conferences can be to our industry. Our team here at CT will surely be there, so do stop us for a chat when you see the red pants walking around.

Make sure to check the event’s agenda so you don’t miss anything.

The Right Connections, Not Just More Connections

I bet you’ve been to that franchise conference that feels like a never-ending business card swap. You meet people, shake hands, and walk away with a pile of names. But how many of those are real connections?

BAI Momentum 2025 is built differently. The fact that it is invite-only ensures that every person in the room belongs there: franchisors, brokers, and suppliers who are serious about growth, not just networking for the sake of it.

That includes:

  • Fellow brokers and franchise pros: the very people who understand your challenges, your opportunities, and your market.
  • One-on-One meetings: no random small talk, just focused, strategic conversations between franchisors, brokers, and suppliers.
  • Mastermind discussions: forget cookie-cutter panels. These are interactive, problem-solving sessions where industry leaders collaborate and tackle real challenges together.

When you leave the conference center, you might have that stack of business cards—but also potential partnerships that matter, strategies you can implement, and insights that make a difference.

Beyond the Sessions: The BAI Momentum Experience

Here’s the thing: momentum comes from engagement, collaboration, and action. There’s no way to harness it if you’re standing still.

From the kickoff golf tournament to the “ELEVATE” offsite event at Red Rock Canyon—complete with a cocktail hour, buffet dinner, and even a tethered hot air balloon ride—Momentum blends business with experience.

The Learning Labs are designed to be interactive, pulling you into the conversation rather than leaving you as just another audience member. You’ll take part in discussions that challenge the status quo, uncover fresh strategies, and spark new ideas.

This makes networking at BAI feel natural, not forced. Be it over dinner, at a cocktail reception, or during structured meetups, you’ll have genuine, productive conversations with people who actually understand your challenges and goals.

And let’s not forget the unexpected. BAI is taking things up a notch this year, introducing surprise elements, unique experiences, and interactive sessions that will make this event truly one-of-a-kind.

See you there!

Whether you’re a franchisor, broker, or industry leader: the BAI Franchise Conference is a wonderful chance to position yourself for growth, make the right connections, and gain real, actionable insights.
