International Franchise Association's Annual Convention

Whew! Time sure flies when you're copying, collating, and binding for a presentation tomorrow. It's almost time to get out of here for the night, but before we leave, we wanted to take a moment to tell you about an exciting event we're headed to this week -- The International Franchise Association's annual conference!

Here's the official release F.C. Dadson typed up for the show:

"F.C. Dadson is pleased to announce that it will once again be an exhibitor at the annual International Franchise Association (IFA) convention. The show, which will take place February 14-17 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, features 4 days of educational sessions, round tables, networking events and an exhibition of the lastest products and services available to franchisors today.

This will be the company's 6th year exhibiting, but its representatives will be working more than the show floor. Angie Borchardt and Troy Schwehr will be participating as show ambassadors, helping new IFA members navigate the convention. In addition, Larry Myer, Bruce Olans and Tim Matey have been selected to participate in the show's educational series as panel moderator, super session participant and round table leader respectively. To close the show, Myer will make a final appearance at the Closing Gala as the Franchise All-Star Band reunites for this special event.

Adding to the excitement of an already busy show, F.C. Dadson will be debuting its new "Store in a Box" program at its booth. Aimed to help franchisees open their locations more efficiently, "Store in a Box" is a custom-tailored program of services ranging from pre-construction and design to fulfillment and final installation. Attendees, exhibitors and media members are invited to visit booth #309 to learn more."

And there you have it. F.C. Dadson always has a blast at IFA. This year should be no exception, and Dadson Diaries readers are in for a treat in the form of a complete show recap to be posted when we return.
