Change to Grow, Lead to Change
Facilitating best practices conversations among franchising's leaders has been the driving force behind the FaegreBD Franchise Summit since the first event in 2006. In August, we held our eighth annual Franchise Summit, keynoted by Steve Romaniello, chair of the International Franchise Association (IFA) and managing director at Roark Capital.

Many franchise executives spend most, if not all, of their time working in their businesses and their franchise systems. They have few opportunities to get together with other franchise executives and exchange best practice ideas and solutions for their major challenges.
