Hotels near The Franchise Expo D.C./Virginia 2027 in Fairfax

The Franchise Expo D.C./Virginia brings the capital region's most active franchise brands together at the Dulles Expo Center for a single weekend. If you're weighing full-time or part-time business ownership, this is a practical way to compare multiple concepts side by side instead of researching them one at a time. Expect face-to-face conversations with franchisors expanding across Washington D.C. and Virginia, a no-pressure setting to get your questions answered, and free seminars covering financing, legal guidance and how to pick the right business for your situation. The show is produced by National Event Management and runs annually in spring. Tickets are free but require online registration in advance, and availability is limited.
