Annual Convention Aims to Regroup and Innovate in 2015

From February 15 – 18, Las Vegas becomes franchising’s playground.

The International Franchise Association’s Annual Convention is touted as the “Premier Franchise Event of the Year,” and for good reason.

Once a year thousands of franchise business leaders come together to share, learn, experience and set themselves up for success for a brand new year of business. #IFA2015 is especially important; after a year of legislative uncertainty, public policy regulation and economic pressures, franchising is coming together to bolster franchise relations and leadership for success moving forward.

“IFA has several key initiatives for 2015, which include: preserving the franchise business model by challenging the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) “joint employer” ruling, restoring the 40-hour work week within the Affordable Care Act and improving the legal immigration system to strengthen the workforce,” said Steve Caldeira, CEO and President of the IFA.

The Convention theme this year is “Connect. Innovate. Evolve.” and the theme is a nod to franchising’s expansive network that aims to strengthen existing connections and “unite the industry and promote innovation.”

Attendees can rub shoulders with the best in the business and educate themselves through networking, roundtables, educational sessions, keynote speakers, summits and mini sessions.
