Join us June 27–29, 2025, at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida, where franchisees, managers, and brand leaders will come together for a powerful three-day experience.
From exclusive updates to energizing workshops, this year’s event is all about igniting impact and shaping our brand’s future — and yes, you play a key role in that journey
We’re thrilled to announce a can’t-miss moment at this year’s Smoothie King Conference — Mark King, former CEO of Taco Bell and one of the most respected leaders in the industry, will be joining us as our keynote speaker!
Currently serving as CEO of Xponential Fitness—one of the leading global franchisors of boutique health and wellness brands like Pure Barre, Stretch Lab, and Club Pilates—Mark is known for turning bold ideas into reality, building iconic brands, and leading teams with purpose and passion. Under his leadership, Taco Bell achieved explosive growth and set new standards for innovation and culture. Pulling from a nearly 40-year career, Mark believes in creating the right atmosphere to unleash the potential of people to make extraordinary breakthroughs happen. As a leader, he steers with a belief system based in keeping a growth mindset, investing in people, and encouraging an innovative culture to achieve success.
Before joining Taco Bell, Mark served as president of adidas North America from 2014-2018. Under his leadership, adidas market share doubled in under three years and sales tripled in four years. In addition, King cultivated new energy for the company’s culture resulting in double the number of employees at adidas, an industry-shattering retention rate, the highest employee net promoter score in the company, and more than 500,000 job applications in one year.
Prior to adidas, Mark spent 34 years at TaylorMade, quickly rising from a territory sales representative to president of TaylorMade in 1999 and CEO in 2002. During his tenure as president and CEO, TaylorMade became the leading and most profitable golf company in the world, catapulting the business from $300 million to more than $1.85 billion in sales.
At the Conference, Mark will share:
