ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER CONFERENCE What an incredible few days we had at the 2024 TacoTime National Conference! From inspiring keynote sessions to insightful breakout discussions and plenty of opportunities to network, it was truly a time to connect, learn, and grow together as a TacoTime family. 🗣️ We saw tremendous engagement throughout the event, with franchisees—both seasoned and new—coming together to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. It was wonderful to witness new connections being made and the enthusiastic participation of our newest franchisees. 🎙️ One of the most powerful moments of the conference was Jean François Ménard motivational presentation. His talk on resilience and leadership left a lasting impression, reminding us of the importance of adapting to life’s challenges. Jean’s quote from his book, "It is what it is, not what it's supposed to be", struck a chord with many of us. It’s a reminder that success comes not from having perfect circumstances, but from thriving in the ones we’re given. After the session, Jean graciously hosted a book signing, and many of you were able to leave with a signed copy of his latest work. 🤝 Thank you to our amazing partners (PepsiCo, WCD, Gordon Food Service - Canada, Crunchtime and Jarritos US) who joined us at the Tradeshow. It was fantastic to see the wide array of support and resources available for our franchisees. From marketing solutions to operational tools, our partners showcased products and services designed to help you elevate your business. 🙏🏼 Thank you to our sponsors - your contributions was a key factor in its success, and we can’t wait to work with you on future collaborations: Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club Inc., Affinity Group, Sales & Marketing Agency (Jansen Bañez), Curbex, Hook + Ladder Digital, J&J Snack Foods Corp, Media Crush, NEXUS Exhibits LTD, Shout Branding Solutions (Wendy McLennan), UEAT, velvettheory, MTY Food Group, Fondation Groupe MTY - MTY Group Foundation. 🏆 The Franchisee Awards and Recognition Ceremony celebrated the outstanding achievements of our franchisees.
