Business Case

Delivered Best-Ever Global Franchise Conference with $310,100 Increased Sponsorship Commitments

IHOP

IHOP needed to increase attendance at its 2023 Global Franchise Conference (GFC) compared to previous years. The company also aimed to significantly elevate the overall guest experience and commemorate its 65th anniversary. They sought a partner to bring fresh thinking and enhance the franchise event experience. Bishop-McCann provided comprehensive logistics, program management, and production services for the GFC. They developed a creative concept around IHOP's "Going the extra smile" mantra, incorporating Austin and Texas-themed iconography. Unique features included a "Kitchen Stadium" for chef demonstrations and interactive "JOY Moments" like a cotton candy lemonade preparation. The event achieved overwhelmingly positive guest survey results, affirming it as an outstanding franchise event. Sponsorship commitments increased by $310,100. Attendees praised the "Kitchen Stadium" and networking opportunities, with the client's President and CEO declaring it the "best GFC ever." The success laid groundwork for continued conference growth.

Key Results
  • 690 IHOP attendees
  • 178 sponsors
  • 868 total attendees

Business Case

Achieved Budgetary Goals and Engaged 624 Attendees

CAVA

CAVA sought to unite general managers, celebrate achievements, and introduce new products at their CAVA Connect event. As this was CAVA's first time partnering with an external agency for such a large-scale event, building trust was crucial. The primary challenge was to create an elevated and inspiring event that communicated CAVA's vision, fostered engagement, and remained within budgetary guidelines. Bishop-McCann partnered with CAVA to plan and execute the three-day "Ignite" themed CAVA Connect conference. They meticulously handled all logistics, including coordinating air travel, sourcing vendors, and managing technical production aspects. The team also brought the "Ignite" theme to life through creative design, atmospheric elements, and by securing impactful speakers and entertainment. Interactive elements like speed networking and BINGO cards were strategically integrated to boost participation. The event successfully met budgetary goals, delivering a vibrant and highly engaging experience for over 600 attendees. The "Ignite" theme was seamlessly integrated throughout the event, from design to interactive elements, including 311 speed networking participants. Attendees formed strong connections, celebrated achievements, and departed feeling inspired and re-energized. This successful collaboration also established a robust foundation for future partnerships with CAVA.

Key Results
  • 624 total attendees
  • 308 general managers (GMs) attended
  • 25 awards presented
