The Rise of Us Begins Now
Online registration is officially open for the 2027 AKFCF Convention, and this is your invitation to be part of a powerful gathering built around connection, collaboration, and collective momentum. Set against the beautiful Chula Vista Bayfront at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center, this year’s Convention will bring the KFC family together to celebrate where we have been, focus on where we are going, and rise together for the future of the brand.
Attendees can look forward to inspiring general sessions, meaningful franchisee and vendor networking, timely business updates, interactive workshops, award recognition, trade show experiences, and memorable opportunities to reconnect with peers and partners from across the system. From the Rise and Shine networking breakfasts to The Rise Exchange, trade show receptions, hands-on workshops, regional meetings, and evening celebrations, every part of the program is designed to spark ideas, strengthen relationships, and turn shared purpose into action.
Whether you are coming to learn, lead, listen, connect, celebrate, or discover new solutions for your restaurants, the 2027 AKFCF Convention is where individual energy becomes collective progress. This is more than a meeting. It is a chance to stand alongside fellow franchisees, operators, leaders, suppliers, and partners as one KFC family ready to rise higher together.
