Please join us once again for IFA’s Public Affairs Conference, being held September 13-14, at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC. This conference is the franchise industry’s most important advocacy event.

With 2010 being a critical midterm election year, it is more important than ever to come together as an industry and educate both fellow franchise members and members of Congress on issues that impact our nation’s franchises each day. During this two-day event, interact with federal lawmakers, receive insight from a variety of high-profile speakers, honor Franchise of the Year Award recipients and network with fellow franchise business leaders. Don’t miss this important opportunity to bring the voice of franchising to Capitol Hill!

More than 400 franchisors, franchisees and suppliers participated last year to tell franchising’s story.  Join us again this year to lobby Congress on the issues that matter in protecting the business climate for franchising.
