The IFA World Franchise Show is returning to the United States this autumn, with the 2026 edition set to take place at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 25 and 26 September 2026.
Now operated by Business Show Media, the organisers behind some of the world’s leading business exhibitions, the show brings together entrepreneurs and investors with globally recognised franchise brands under one roof. This year’s exhibitor line-up includes Wendy’s, alongside hundreds of established franchise concepts spanning multiple sectors and international markets.
For prospective franchisees, the event offers access to educational seminars, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and an extensive range of international pavilions showcasing franchise opportunities from across the globe. The format is designed to allow attendees to compare opportunities and gain expert insight into franchise ownership in a single, targeted environment.
For franchisors and franchise brands, the show provides direct access to qualified, investment-ready prospects looking to explore ownership options. Business Show Media’s stewardship of the event has drawn recognition from Exhibition News and the Association of Event Organisers.
Registration is now open. Prospective attendees can secure a digital entry pass by visiting the official IFA World Franchise Show website at ifafranchiseshow.com.
