The CFA National Convention is the most highly anticipated event in Canada's franchise community. With hundreds in attendance from all corners of the country, ranging from CEOs and founders to franchisors and executives, there are opportunities for everyone in franchising to come together in this unique space to connect, learn, and grow! 

As a result, Convention offers diverse sponsorship opportunities to promote and enhance your brand awareness. With these opportunities, you can attract the attention of the CFA community to your business, align your brand with the future-forward vision of franchising, connect directly with key decision-makers in franchise systems across Canada, and so much more.

To learn more about the benefits of National Convention sponsorship, or to create a custom sponsorship, get in touch with Emaad Siddiqui at esiddiqui@cfa.ca.
