IFA at the Canadian Franchise Association Convention

Last week, the International Franchise Association had the honor of joining the Canadian Franchise Association Convention, where cross-border collaboration on strengthening the franchise business model took center stage. 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

IFA President & CEO Matthew Haller and CFA’s Sherry L McNeil, CFE, along with moderator Larry Weinberg, explored the evolving landscape of franchising across North America – and what today’s political and economic climate means for businesses in both countries.

Throughout the convention, one message stood out: franchising is one of the most resilient, adaptive, and globally connected business models — powered by strong relationships, shared growth, and an entrepreneurial spirit that drives local economies in both countries.

IFA looks forward to building on that momentum next month when the Canadian Franchise Association joins The IFA World Franchise Show, taking place May 9–10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

📍 Attendees are invited to visit Booth 534 to connect with CFA representatives and explore the Worldwide Pavilions, highlighting top franchise brands from around the globe.

Together, the franchise community continues to build bridges, foster partnerships, and champion the power of franchising across borders.
