International Franchise Show London

Following the overwhelming success of the 2024 edition, the International Franchise Show is set to return to London’s Excel on the 11th and 12th of April 2025. This year, the event promises to be bigger, more dynamic, and even more engaging as we continue to lead the way in the global franchising industry.

In 2024, we welcomed a record-breaking 11,474 attendees and saw a remarkable 91% of exhibitors rebook for 2025, highlighting the event’s essential role as the premier platform for franchising professionals. Our unique ability to bring together franchisors, investors, and industry leaders to network, collaborate, and share knowledge has made the International Franchise Show the must-attend event of the year.

Highlights for 2025:

1. Biggest Ever Seen Exhibitor Showcase – In response to growing demand, the 2025 show will feature an even larger and more diverse range of exhibitors from a wide variety of industries. With opportunities spanning food, retail, home services, and beyond, attendees will be able to explore all of the most new and exciting franchise opportunities from around the world.
2. International Partnerships and Networking – We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our global reach in 2025. In addition to our longstanding partnership with the International Franchise Association (IFA), we are forging new relationships with key industry players across Europe, North America, and Asia. The result will be even greater opportunities for networking, cross-border collaboration, and international growth.
3. Expert Seminars and Keynotes – The 2025 show will feature even more valuable learning experiences with expert-led seminars and keynote presentations from entrepreneurs like Lucy Campbell, CEO of Right at Home UK, and Siobhan Percy, Head of Marketing at XplorerGroup. Renowned franchising professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and industry thought leaders will share their insights on topics such as scaling a franchise, navigating legal challenges, the future of franchise technology, and more. The IFA will once again host high-impact sessions designed to equip both new and experienced franchisees with the tools they need for success.
4. Interactive Features and Live Demos – Our commitment to innovation continues with the introduction of interactive features and live demonstrations, offering attendees the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the latest franchise products, services, and technologies. From virtual reality walkthroughs to live cooking demos from top food franchise brands, the 2025 show will be an immersive experience like never before.
5. Networking Opportunities – With more exhibitors, more visitors, and an expanded agenda, the networking potential at the International Franchise Show 2025 will be unparalleled.
