Building Community at PuroClean’s Franchise Convention 2024

PuroClean franchisees at a convention

PuroClean Franchise Owners, employees, associates, and strategic partners were flying high in June after the company held its annual Convention in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. More than 450 people came to Denver, Colorado, for the week-long International Franchise Convention 2024, which gave them the opportunity to network, learn, and have some fun!  

The Convention featured a number of informative sessions and continuing education opportunities, during which participants shared insights, achievements, and hurdles so they could learn and grow from one another. Guest speakers who gave insightful talks on restoration industry trends and issues included: 

  • Scott K. Edinger, renowned business strategist and leadership expert 
  • Ed Cross, disaster recovery law expert 
  • Debra Fine, networking guru and author 
  • Steve LeFever, financial and business management expert 

Attendees participated in workshops and fire and water restoration training sessions to hone their skills and learn best practices from other Franchise Owners and employees. It was a lot of learning and a perfect opportunity to bond! That bonding continued through the Convention’s many opportunities to socialize with fellow Franchise Owners and PuroClean leadership. It was a great chance to chat with others who share a passion for property damage remediation and the cleaning and restoration industry

“This year’s conference in Denver has been our most successful yet,” said Mark W. Davis, PuroClean Chairman and CEO. “The level of engagement and the quality of our sessions reflect the dedication and passion of our entire PuroClean family. We remain committed to continued improvement and innovation in everything we do, and we’re so pleased to have such a dedicated franchise family.” 

PuroClean executives and Franchise Owners explored new technologies, considered innovative business strategies, examined bolt-on business opportunities, and sought fresh perspectives for their existing damage restoration industry work. The International Franchise Convention 2024 provided an awesome opportunity for everyone to connect, collaborate, and motivate one another.
