"IFE truly gives entrepreneurs the tools for success by creating an environment that provides resources, mentorship, and unique networking opportunities to make dreams of business-ownership become a reality."

"The IFA is thrilled to partner with MFV Expositions for this year's International Franchise Expo," stated Matt Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. "Franchising uniquely enables aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams without having to go at it alone, and there is no better place to start than meeting with potential brands and learning from those around you. For those already in the business, it's an incredible opportunity for growth and to reach new audiences. IFA has been hard at work to provide top-notch education and programming, for those just getting started to anyone who wants more professional development. This year we have a number of educational sessions such Franchising 101, a program on the state of franchising featuring the IFA's most recent Economic Outlook Report, a chance to hear from IFA Immediate Past Chair, Catherine Monson, on how women, minorities and veterans can be successful in franchising, and opportunities to learn more about international franchising. We're also providing courses to receive Certified Franchise Executive credits ahead of the show – and this is only a preview. It's an event you and your teams don't want to miss."
