It’s franchising’s biggest annual event: IFA’s Convention. Every year, the International Franchise Association hosts the industry’s premiere event for franchisors of all sizes, single and multi-unit franchisees and hundreds of supplier partners. The forum is designed to allow industry professionals to network and build relationships with over 4,000 of their peers and encourage the development of new ideas.

With more than 50 different educational sessions, roundtables and summits, next year’s convention is poised to tackle the latest industry trends, news and best practices. The topics that will be covered include franchise relations, management and leadership, marketing financing, multi-unit growth, international expansion, franchise development and the importance of social media.

IFA 2017’s feature speakers include Tim Ferriss, the New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, Anytime Fitness co-founder Dave Mortensen and Chuck Runyon and Marcus Buckingham, a four-time New York Times best-selling author and leading business consultant.
