The Franchise Expo comes back to Orlando on May 15-16, 2027 at the Orange County Convention Center. It is Florida's largest "Own Your Own Business" event, gathering the most successful franchise brands and brand-new opportunities from every industry in one place. Over two days, prospective owners can compare full-time and part-time business ownership options face to face with companies already expanding across the Orlando area, in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. Exhibitors cover food and beverage, retail, education, fitness, home services and health, with investment levels to fit a wide range of budgets. The show features a full schedule of free seminars on legal advice, picking the right franchise, financing options, government assistance programs and how to franchise your own business. Industry suppliers and advisors are available throughout the day to answer questions. Show hours are Saturday 11am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. Free tickets are limited and issued online. Visitors travelling to Orlando can stay on International Drive near the Orange County Convention Center to walk to the venue.
