#THISISLOUISVILLE
We are excited to bring the Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit to our home city — Louisville, Kentucky.
Not only is Louisville home to restaurant industry giants like YUM! Brands and Papa John’s Pizza, it also boasts a strong and growing foodie scene. We expect many of these independent restaurant operators will welcome the opportunity to attend the Summit in their own backyard.
We think you’re going to love Louisville just as much as we do. Click the button below to see some of what the city and surrounding Bluegrass Region have to offer.
