Every franchisor remembers that turning point, the moment you stopped wondering if franchising could work for you and started asking how far you could take it.
That’s exactly the kind of clarity the IFA World Franchise Show 2025 is built for.
Happening May 9–10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, we’re talking about a true franchise show here, not just another stop on the expo circuit. It’s a fully curated experience designed to connect ambitious franchise brands with qualified business owners—and to give aspiring franchisees the resources they need to start strong and scale fast.
Whether you’re looking to expand your brand, explore ownership opportunities, or just sharpen your franchise growth strategy, this is where your next move begins.
A Global Marketplace for Franchise Growth
With over 200 exhibiting brands from industries like food, fitness, education, home services, and retail, the IFA World Franchise Show is where you’ll explore proven models, scalable concepts, and innovative up-and-comers.
You’ll meet franchise development leaders, funding experts, and fellow entrepreneurs who’ve scaled across states—and borders. It’s a chance to sharpen your strategy, expand your portfolio, and maybe even spark your next big move.
And of course the ClientTether team wouldn’t miss a big franchise show like this. Be sure to look for some uniquely red pants walking around!
Sessions Built for Real-World Impact
Forget fluffy keynotes or generic advice. The IFA World Franchise Show delivers practical, action-oriented sessions led by people who’ve been in your shoes — with curated content that meets you exactly where you are in your franchise journey.
From masterclasses that break down funding strategies to workshops on navigating international expansion, you’ll find:
- Actionable training on finding and funding the right business model
- Strategic sessions tailored to multi-unit operators and emerging brands
- Hands-on workshops and “day-in-the-life” spotlights for aspiring owners
- Panels packed with real operators sharing lessons that don’t show up in brochures
This franchise show is set to be a high-powered business ecosystem packed into two days. I bet there’ll be a playbook there with your name on it.
Check out the full agenda to get ready.
The Right Conversations, Right People, Right Now
What makes the IFA World Franchise Show more than a sea of handshakes? It’s the intentionality behind every connection.
Granted, we’re somewhat biased towards connecting face-to-face with people at franchise conferences.
But this isn’t a free-for-all networking mixer. It’s a curated space where the right people actually show up, ready to talk business. From emerging franchisors to seasoned investors, to suppliers who know your space inside and out, every conversation has the potential to shift your growth trajectory.
So skip the small talk. At the IFA World Franchise Show, you’ll connect with:
- Franchise founders actively recruiting partners
- Consultants, brokers, and funding experts who speak franchise fluently
- Brand builders ready to share what’s really working behind the scenes
This is the place to be, no matter where your brand is. See the full list of speakers.
