Brisbane Brings the Buzz to Franchising!

The Brisbane Franchising Expo was a standout success, delivering two vibrant days of face-to-face conversations, quality connections, and franchise discovery at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Visitors explored a diverse mix of brands — spanning food, fitness, logistics, education, retail and more — while soaking up valuable insights from the buzzing seminar stage.

Exhibitors praised both the high level of interest and the quality of conversations:

“The Brisbane expo was a great success for Senior Helpers Australia – we met some genuinely engaged prospects and look forward to turning those connections into meaningful partnerships.” — Kylie Hamilton, Master Franchisor, Senior Helpers Australia

“A vibrant weekend with genuinely engaged prospects. The show gave us great exposure and real opportunities for growth. It was well organised, and the Lup Events lead system made connecting simple and effective.” — Ibtassam Zia, Dawg Boys & Miso Hungry

The energy carried through to the seminar theatres, where standing-room-only sessions covered everything from startup strategy to finance, operations and marketing — highlighting the growing appetite for knowledge and support among aspiring franchisees and small business owners.
