What Makes a Franchise Brand a Unicorn?
Can your brand grow? Does it grow through your own franchisees? Does it win on unit economics?
Most franchise events treat these as three separate conversations. FranCamp Miami is built around all three, together because that’s the standard investors, franchisees, and the market now hold every brand to.
This isn’t a conference where you sit back and take notes. You’ll work alongside peers, experts, and growth-minded franchisors — including World Series Champion & MVP Ben Zobrist — to pressure-test your brand against the unicorn standard and leave with a 30-day action plan.
If you’re serious about where your brand goes in 2027, this is the room.
What you’ll Get
- The Unicorn Standard: A clear, honest measure of your brand — growth, franchisee reinvestment, unit economics.
- Ben Zobrist, Live: The World Series MVP on clarity, discipline, and performing under pressure — applied to your brand.
- Unicorn Brand Stories: How Paris Baguette became one. How French Florist is becoming one.
- Working Breakouts: Leave with your Unicorn Clarity Statement, Unit Economics Scorecard, and 30-Day Action Plan — not just notes.
- Mastermind Networking: Sponsor roundtables, dinner events, and real relationships that outlast the event.
- Vibes in Miami: Good food, warm weather, and next-level connections.
