Why Our Meetings
FranNet is more than a network—it’s a close-knit community of consultants, franchisors, and aspiring business owners who value real connections. Franchisors often say, “I don’t get lost in the crowd like I do at other meetings—I make real connections that matter.” That’s because at FranNet, we’re here for you, your brand, and the entrepreneurs exploring franchising opportunities. Our mission is simple: foster meaningful connections, share expertise, and create a platform where your success truly matters.
Break through the ordinary. Break through the noise. Break Through Boston.

Grab your coffee and kick off your morning with The Early Edition: Boston Unplugged, an exclusive talk-show-style session hosted by Jim Canfield. Join us on Tuesday, April 28th, as Jim sits down with a lineup of special guests for candid, thought-provoking conversations on the topics shaping franchising today — from the rise of A.I. and its real impact on business, to emerging challenges facing the industry, and the ever-important question: Who’s Your Buyer? with Buyer Trends.
Expect insight, laughter, and a few surprises in this engaging, unscripted session that will get you thinking — and talking — long after it’s over.
