MFV Expositions (“MFV”) and Comexposium, the nation’s leader in connecting the franchising world with motivated entrepreneurs, is prepping for their next trade show – the much anticipated Franchise Expo Austin. Set for Nov. 15-16 at the Renaissance Austin Hotel, the show will feature more than 125 exhibitors, host more than two dozen workshops and sessions, and is expected to draw a crowd of 1,500+ entrepreneurial candidates to a bustling trade show floor. It’s the perfect opportunity for prospective business owners to connect with exhibitors for one-on-one discussions about investing in franchise brands to establish an entrepreneurial future.

“This is the first time we’ve ever brought our franchise expo to Austin – which is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.,” stated Martin Joksimovic, president of MFV Expositions. “But it makes perfect sense when you consider that Texas has been named the No. 1 state for future franchise growth. The location we’ve chosen emphasizes our commitment to drill down into specific markets that not only have thriving economies, but also a stellar reputation for supporting and encouraging entrepreneurship. With an incredible lineup of big-name franchisors and exclusive programming from the Latino Franchise Association, this is a must-see event for entrepreneurial candidates who dream of owning a business of their own.”

The Franchise Expo Austin event will showcase a diverse collection of exhibitors, including franchise brands, vendors, and suppliers. Attendees can expect to encounter all kinds of business models – everything from food and beverage and automotive services to healthcare, popular retail outlets, and childcare. The expo’s first visit to Austin has drawn interest from some of the most influential and well-known franchisors in the industry, including 7-Eleven, Burger King, American Family Care, Perkins Restaurant and Bakery, Rosati’s Pizza, The Learning Experience, and Ziebart.

With over 125+ exhibitors, attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with several upstart and emerging brands that offer a lower barrier to entry, including Get a Haircut, Legato Living, and All States M.E.D.

The Franchise Expo Austin event has recruited an all-star cast of influential speakers, including:

Franchise Expo Austin will also feature exclusive and original programming and events such as:

– Emerging Pavilion – reserved exclusively for emerging franchisors, those with 10 units or less can showcase their brands at the Emerging Pavilion, a busy location on the trade show floor

– Business Resource Center – this section, dubbed the “Supplier Zone” is reserved for a wide range of business suppliers and vendors that cater exclusively to the franchising industry

– Austin Unplugged – during the two-day expo, MFV Expositions and the franchise industry’s wildly popular Social Geek Radio team will be conducting podcast interviews on their Austin Unplugged Show, direct from the trade show floor

More than 25 insightful workshops and panel discussions are also on tap at the Franchise Expo Austin, featuring popular programming on How to Franchise Your Business and the A-to-Z’s of Buying a Franchise. All of the expo’s engaging sessions and programming is designed to help entrepreneurs and franchisors learn more about the franchise investigating process, scaling, marketing, selling, and organizational strategies, as well as how to secure the right resources and connections.

One of the most anticipated events of Franchise Expo Austin is the exclusive programming presented by the Latino Franchise Association (LFA). Led by founder and CEO Rafael Alvarez, the LFA will offer a series of informative panel discussions and presentations that explore the impact, progress, and promise of Hispanic entrepreneurship – both here in the U.S. and in Latin America. “As the leading minority trade association in the franchising industry, we’re looking forward to educating attendees and exhibitors on the power of franchising’s role to promote more social and economic inclusion and equity for Latinos,” stated Alvarez. “The Latino entrepreneurial community is a significant contributor to economic development and prosperity in the U.S., but we need to expand our efforts further so that even more Latinos have the opportunity to establish intergenerational wealth.”

In 2024, MFV’s franchise expos in New York City, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale all experienced record-breaking attendance. Entrepreneurial candidates looking to attend the Franchise Expo Austin event can register online, as well as franchisors looking to exhibit at the expo.

By Security Type, Network security segment to account for the largest market share in 2029.

It is anticipated that network security will dominate the market for industrial cybersecurity throughout the forecast period since it serves as the grounding for protecting linked systems from external threats. When AI and IoT are introduced into enterprises, their networks are threatened by intrusions, which underlines the need to manage data flow between devices and systems. As industrial networks become increasingly complex, companies focus on enhancing network security to safeguard their operations, maintain information integrity, and ensure organizational resilience when facing new and growing threat risks.

By Deployment Type, the Cloud segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR between 2024 and 2029.

In the industrial cybersecurity market by deployment type, the cloud segment is expected to have the highest CAGR as more firms achieve cloud adoption for their solutions than on-premises due to factors such as flexibility and cost of acquiring infrastructure. While organizations implement digital strategies and distributed work, cloud security remains an important issue. One of the major reasons that cloud security is rapidly growing is that more important data and critical operations have started storing in the cloud services.

EduMed.org celebrates Medical Assistants Recognition Week with online guides for aspiring MAs

New resources highlight pathways to becoming a medical assistant, top programs for 2025 and the importance of empathy in patient care.

RENO, Nev., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In honor of Medical Assistants Recognition Week (MARWeek), EduMed.org has released a collection of new and updated guides to support students pursuing careers as medical assistants. The guides include a step-by-step process on how to become a medical assistant, a collection of key resources for medical assisting students, the best online and hybrid medical assistant programs for 2025, and a new piece on why empathy is a critical skill for medical assistants.

“Medical assistants are essential to today’s healthcare system. Their ability to balance patient care with administrative responsibilities makes them invaluable in hospitals, clinics and physician offices across the country.”

Medical assistants are the backbone of many healthcare facilities, performing both administrative and clinical tasks to ensure that patient care runs smoothly. As the demand for healthcare services increases, medical assistants play a crucial role in supporting physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

“Medical assistants are essential to today’s healthcare system,” said Wes Ricketts, founder of EduMed.org. “Their ability to balance patient care with administrative responsibilities makes them invaluable in hospitals, clinics and physician offices across the country.”

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the medical assisting profession has seen tremendous growth, with myriad opportunities for those interested in joining the field. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of medical assistants is expected to grow 16 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is driven by an aging population, increasing demand for healthcare services and the expansion of outpatient care facilities.

“The medical assisting profession is expanding rapidly, with job openings projected to increase significantly over the next decade,” added Ricketts. “Students considering this career path should find both stability and a strong sense of purpose in supporting patients and healthcare teams alike.”

EduMed.org’s updated resources guide prospective medical assistants through every step of their journey, from choosing the right educational program to understanding the importance of soft skills like empathy, which play a vital role in patient interactions and overall healthcare outcomes.
