Franchise Industry Mixer - Friday of The LA Expo

Franchise Expo Industry Mixer – Expo ends at 4, Mixer starts at 5:30 just 1 mile away.

Unwind, connect, and build new relationships at this casual industry mixer right after the Franchise Expo. Whether you're a founder, operator, investor, supplier, or just franchise-curious, this is a laid-back chance to meet others in the ecosystem.

We're just one mile from the Convention Center, and doors open at 5:30 PM — giving you plenty of time to wrap up your day and head over. No presentations, no pitches — just good conversation, new contacts, and a chance to turn Expo energy into real connections.

Come grab a bite and drink, swap stories, and meet potential partners, clients, and collaborators in a relaxed post-expo setting.

This is a free-to-attend event, but we do offer open bar tickets for guests — $40 each.

This is a free-to-attend event, but we do offer open bar tickets for guests — $40 each. Sponsors can purchase them in bulk for just $20 each (minimum of 50). That means for $1,000, you can directly sponsor the bar tab for 50 attendees.

In return, you’ll get:

• Your name/logo on event marketing and signage
• Exclusive use of upstairs for you and your guests
• Optional Booth or Table Downstairs
• Inclusion in emails to our 30,000+ person list
• A personal LinkedIn message to targeted companies, mentioning you as a sponsor
• A thank-you shoutout during the event
• Printed handout tickets/flyers distributed at the Expo — with your name featured and acknowledged
• Got something in mind? We're open

If you're looking to get in front of founders, operators, and investors in the franchise space, we’d love to work with you.
