Franchise AiQ™, the AI-powered marketing and lead activation platform for franchisors and franchisees, announced today that it will host an in-person educational event, AI for Franchises: Revolutionize Your Franchise with the Power of AI, on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM MDT at Venture X Denver Tech Center.
This high-impact session is designed to help franchise owners, multi-unit operators, and industry professionals understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way franchises operate, grow, and compete.
The franchise industry is at a crossroads. Customer expectations are evolving, digital-first competitors are rising, and operational costs continue to climb. Many franchise owners are asking how they can deliver consistent service, scale efficiently, and still compete in local markets. The answer increasingly involves AI.
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a “nice-to-have” tool reserved for large corporations. It is now an essential resource for everyday franchise operations. Owners who educate themselves on AI and begin leveraging it in marketing, sales, and customer service are positioning their businesses to thrive in the years ahead. Those who delay risk falling behind competitors that embrace automation, personalization, and data-driven decision-making.
This Meetup will show attendees exactly how to make AI work for their franchise model, combining education with real-world strategies.
What franchise owners will gain from attending – Participants will walk away with practical insights, including:
Proven tactics to streamline operations and reduce unnecessary costs
Ways to personalize and enhance customer interactions using AI-driven tools
Actionable strategies to apply AI for marketing, sales, and decision-making
Real examples of how forward-thinking franchises are using AI to increase profitability

The choice of Denver as the host city underscores the region’s growing role in business innovation and technology adoption. The Venture X Denver Tech Center provides a collaborative backdrop for entrepreneurs and franchise owners to explore how AI can be a game-changer in their industry.
