IFA Live Learning: Two Ways, One Powerful Experience

Accelerate your franchising growth through expert-led virtual sessions and immersive in-person workshops. Gain practical insights, real-time interaction, and meaningful connections that drive success!

  • Virtual Expert Sessions: Take part in interactive webinars with industry leaders where you can ask, collaborate, and learn from anywhere.
  • In-person Sessions: Hands-on events for deeper engagement, direct access to experts, and rich peer collaboration.

These opportunities run year-round, but space is limited—secure your spot to expand your knowledge, grow your network, and keep the momentum strong for obtaining your Certified Franchise Executive™ (CFE) designation!

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