To support our International Members, we are introducing a new series of virtual events in 2026. Following feedback from previous online sessions, these meet-ups will now take place every six weeks on a Tuesday, offering a structured agenda with specific topics and guest speakers. Each session will run for 1.5 hours, from 15:00 to 16:30 GMT, to accommodate members across multiple time zones.

The 2026 International Member Meet-Ups will cover a range of key subjects:

• 27th January – Recruitment Update

• 10th March – Legal Update

• 21st April – Funding Update

• 2nd June – Operations Manuals

• 14th July – Marketing Strategy

• 25th August – Conference & Awards

• 6th October – Support Staff Training

• 17th November – Territory Mapping

These regular virtual gatherings provide BFA International Members with a valuable opportunity to connect, share best practices, and strengthen the global network. Though geographically dispersed, all members share one common focus: franchising.
