Regional Franchising Networking Events

We want to help you stay connected to your franchising community all year long. That’s why the IFA offers two grassroots regional networks for franchisors, franchisees and suppliers to get together for learning, collaboration and best practice sharing.

IFA’s Franchise Business Network (FBN) includes 25+ local chapters that gather on a quarterly basis. Meetings typically include a guest speaker and discussion of national trends and local issues. Please contact IFA’s Katelyn Russell with any questions at krussell@franchise.org.
