Franconnect, the leading provider of franchise management solutions, is hosting the seventh annual <a href="https://www.franconnect.com/ceogrowth/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-growth-circle-event-offers-valuable-insights-to-enterprise-franchise-leaders-2710525" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">CEO Growth Circle</a>, an exclusive opportunity for top-tier franchise executives to connect with other industry leaders, participate in open discussions and hear from thought leaders.&nbsp;

This year&rsquo;s two-day conference differs from other franchisor executive events; invitations are extended exclusively to brands with 200 or more locations. The Summit will feature curated content exclusively focused on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by mature, enterprise systems.&nbsp;

&ldquo;This one-of-a-kind event brings together executives from non-competing companies to ensure open dialogue and a free-flow of insights, strategies, and programs,&rdquo; said Keith Gerson, President of Franchise Operations and CMO at <a href="https://www.franconnect.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-growth-circle-event-offers-valuable-insights-to-enterprise-franchise-leaders-2710525" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">FranConnect</a>. &ldquo;Attendance is on a first-come first serve basis.&rdquo;&nbsp;

&ldquo;Not only are the number of attendees capped at 30, this event also has the smallest ratio of suppliers to Franchisors, albeit each a franchise thought leader in their own right,&rdquo; added Gerson.&nbsp;

Previous Growth Circle Summits have taken place in Palm Beach, Florida, Washington D.C., California&rsquo;s Napa Valley and Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. This year&rsquo;s event is being held October 9&ndash;10 at the exclusive <a href="http://salamanderresort.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-growth-circle-event-offers-valuable-insights-to-enterprise-franchise-leaders-2710525" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Salamander Resort &amp; Spa</a> in Middleburg, Virginia. The event offers unparalleled educational and networking opportunities, as well as a tour of the award-winning &ldquo;RdV Vineyards,&rdquo; a session with a master sommelier, skeet shooting and horseback riding.

Scheduled keynote speaker, <a href="https://alansteinjr.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-growth-circle-event-offers-valuable-insights-to-enterprise-franchise-leaders-2710525" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Alan Stein, Jr.</a>, is one of the world&rsquo;s top motivational authors and speakers. Stein spent 15 years as a performance coach to some of the top basketball players on the planet, including 2017 &amp; 2018 NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant who said, &ldquo;Alan [Stein, Jr.] played a huge role in my development on and off the court and his guidance helped me get to where I am today.&rdquo; Stein, Jr. now teaches audiences how to utilize the same strategies in business that elite athletes use to perform at a world-class level.&nbsp;

&ldquo;We ensure our guests can speak openly and share information in confidence without the threat of a competitor in the room,&rdquo; said Gerson. &ldquo;If you are an enterprise franchisor with 200 or more locations, you won&rsquo;t want to miss it.&rdquo;&nbsp;
