Caribbean American Franchise Forum

Where: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
When:  October 23-24, 2008

The U.S. Commercial Service in the Dominican Republic is co-sponsoring the Caribbean American Franchise Forum, in conjunction with the American Chamber of Commerce in Santo Domingo. 

This program is the most cost-effective means of developing franchise investor leads in the Caribbean region.  The Forum will include presentations by franchise experts who will address subjects such as "Considerations in a Franchise Agreement" and "How to Finance a U.S. Franchise Investment".

In addition to the general franchise presentations, each U.S. Franchisor will have the opportunity to make a 15-minute presentation about their concept to the investor attendees. The Franchisors will also have a literature table in order to promote networking opportunities.  Individual appointments with investors will be coordinated on-site at the Forum.

Other benefits include:

  • Translation services during the event.
  • Networking reception and lunch.
  • Hotel discounts and assistance with reservations and airport transfers

U.S. Franchisors will have a very unique opportunity to develop markets in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean by participating in this forum.

The fee for participation in this Forum is only $750 if a Franchisor registers by Wednesday July 23rd, 2008.  Registrations after that date will be $900.
