Thank you for joining us February 14-17, 2009 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego for the premier educational and networking event in franchising – IFA’s Annual Convention. In spite of challenging economic times, this year's Annual Convention was a great success and we appreciate your support! As the marketplace continues to evolve, it is your job as a savvy business executive to stay current on the latest strategies and best practices - especially during a tough economy. Everyone wants to expand their brand, groom leaders for the future, and solidify franchising's role as a powerhouse in our global economy. Simply put, everyone wants to be successful whether you are new to franchising, a veteran to the industry, from a system with hundreds of units, or from a system with less than 50 units.
No other event can get you up close and personal with many of franchising's most knowledgeable executives along with influential national leaders like our 2009 Opening General Session Keynote Speaker, former United States President Bill Clinton! We were thrilled to have former President Bill Clinton join us to share his optimism and insight on the current state of our economy, as well as other topics of interest and importance to the franchise community.
IFA's Convention is just the place where top business executives, franchise development teams, financial officers, operations specialists and more can discover the recipes to achieve system success. We look forward to seeing you next year in San Antonio!
