Dear CFA community,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 33rd CFA National Convention, where we will embark on an inspiring journey guided by the theme "Leading the Future Through Innovation: Forging Connections, Inspiring Courage."
We are so excited to bring our franchise leaders together to learn, network, and celebrate. Whether your goal is to gain insights into the latest trends and marketplace innovations or to simply be inspired, there's no better place for those in franchising to grow and develop than at this Convention!
This year's event, happening in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec, from April 6 to 8, 2024, promises to unite leaders from both Canada and the United States. Our focus remains firmly on leadership, courage, and community—values that have guided us through our shared journey.
The Convention agenda is thoughtfully curated to offer educational sessions, networking opportunities, and inspiring keynote speakers. These sessions will provide knowledge and experiences from those who lead our franchising community at all levels, offering key takeaways and actionable insights to incorporate into your business and professional practice.
We are humbled by the lifelong learning and shared lessons of our seasoned franchise leaders, who demonstrate the best practices of a growth mindset by attending and actively participating in the sessions and offering invaluable advice on the topics of personal growth and development.
As the heart of the franchise sector, the CFA is dedicated to fostering partnerships, sharing successes, and Growing Together® as a community. The program crafted by the CFA National Convention Committee, in collaboration with the CFA team, reflects the dynamics of the post-pandemic world, addressing challenges with a focus on leadership and courage.
Amidst engaging sessions and networking opportunities, the Convention will culminate in the CFA Awards Gala—a celebration of leadership and community achievements where we recognize the standout efforts of our peers.
We're honoured to be part of this dynamic industry, supporting both new and seasoned franchise experts and industry suppliers. We know that when you leave the event, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated, armed with innovative ideas and effective practices that you can readily apply to your business.
