Franchise Expo West

According to the organiser, Franchise Expo West runs 13 to 14 November 2026 at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Conference Center, 9495 W Entertainment Blvd, Glendale, AZ 85305. TradeShowBuzz lists the same dates and venue. The organiser describes it as the largest franchise expo in the West.

The organiser gives opening times of 10am to 4pm on Friday 13 November 2026 and 10am to 4pm on Saturday 14 November 2026. Its site invites you to register to attend, and says registering means you receive updated show information before the event.

The organiser says it brings together entrepreneurs and prospective business owners, and also current business owners exploring expansion through franchising. You can meet franchise brands from every industry face to face, ask franchisors questions, and attend franchise seminars covering what you need to know about becoming a franchise owner.

The organiser calls it one of the busiest aisles of the show floor, dedicated to up-and-coming franchises. It says visitors often meet founders or top executives there, and can hear about early-stage opportunities and territories. Brands with 10 units or fewer that want to join the pavilion are asked to contact the organiser.

The Business Resource Center brings together suppliers that help develop a franchise, with one on one conversations about strategy, networking and expansion. The conference agenda covers fundamental topics around franchising through workshops and sessions, aimed at both newcomers and people with years of franchising experience.

The organiser has partnered with the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Conference Center, which is also the venue, and links a reservation page from its travel information. It warns that it does not work with third party agency room brokers, and asks you not to use their services if they contact you.
