The FBR Summit runs October 28 to 30, 2026 at the Hilton Austin Downtown. Now in its fifth year, it's the only event built specifically for franchise operations leaders and the teams that support franchisees directly. The format is hands-on workshops, small-group roundtables, and role-specific sessions for C-suite executives, operations directors, franchise business coaches, field support staff, and HR leaders. Monica Rothgery delivers this year's keynote, and sessions cover operational excellence, change management, franchise onboarding, supporting multi-unit owners, and running better field visits.
Brand standards only hold when franchisees adopt them, so Opus is built for the frontline first. You set the standard in training, reinforce it through checklists and communication, and verify it with audits and guest feedback, so standards hold across every location. That's the training operations platform behind Sparkle Dog Grooming, Smashburger, and Shipley Do-Nuts.
We're facilitating one of the roundtables this year. If you're heading to Austin, come find us!
