IFA Live Learning: Elevate Your Expertise in Real Time

Learning from seasoned experts and engaging with your peers is an essential part of your professional journey. That’s why IFA Live Learning offers a dynamic mix of expert-led virtual sessions and in-person learning intensives, all designed to accelerate your growth in franchising.

Whether you’re tuning in from your desk or joining a high-impact in-person experience, you’ll gain practical insights, real-time interaction, and the kind of meaningful connections that fuel lasting success.

Two Ways to Learn — One Powerful Experience

  • Virtual Expert Sessions: Join live, interactive webinars led by industry leaders. Ask questions, collaborate in real time, and gain timely, actionable knowledge from wherever you are.
  • In-person Sessions: Immersive, hands-on events designed for deeper engagement and professional development. These face-to-face sessions offer direct access to experts and rich peer collaboration in a focused learning environment.

IFA Live Learning opportunities are offered regularly throughout the year, so there’s always something new to explore — but don’t wait. Space is limited and sessions fill fast. Take the opportunity to grow your knowledge, expand your network, and keep your momentum going.

IFA Live Learning credits earned through these events count toward the Certified Franchise Executive™ (CFE) designation, a requirement for program completion.
