The IFE 2002 featured a variety of symposia and seminars. It's a something-for- everyone educational experience, from basic how-to sessions to advanced, in-depth examinations of the different franchise relationships and how they affect potential franchisees. So whatever the interest, there are programs designed to meet specific needs.

Each symposium is focused on providing information that is specific to a particular segment of the Expo audience. These six in-depth symposia are moderated by some of the most respected and experienced professionals in the fields of franchising, and feature a broad spectrum of speakers and panelists. They present the practical, legal, strategic and financial issues involved; and show how to avoid the potential pitfalls; providing the knowledge necessary to successfully achieve one's objectives. Existing franchisors and franchisees provide their practical knowledge, experience and insights in many of the sessions.
