The South Florida WFN and FBN chapters serve Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach-area franchising professionals, including franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers. Our goal is to come together both virtually and in person to network, learn and share ideas to grow personally and professionally while continuing the advancement of the franchising business model. In South Florida, we mostly combine the WFN and FBN events but may hold separate events from time to time. See below for definitions of both groups.

WOMEN'S FRANCHISE NETWORK (WFN) WFN’s are local networks designed to develop relationships with women franchising professionals and to address issues, share ideas and offer solutions related to franchising.
IFA’s FBN is the combination of IFA’s two regional programs, the 2nd Tuesday Program and the original FBN Program. The IFA Board of Directors voted to combine the 2nd Tuesday Program and Franchise Business Network Program into one single program meeting in 30+ cities around the country. The new program takes the best features of both programs and combines them into one winning formula for success.
