Network with CFA Supplier Members!

Tuesday, May 18, 2021 | 4PM ET

Join us for the CFA Supplier Referral Networking event! You and fellow CFA members in the Supplier category can virtually meet over a Zoom call to learn what programs/services other supplier members offer in their business, while building relationships and creating referrals for clients in search of other services in the Franchise Support Services/Suppliers category.

Attending helps increase your chances of generating business leads from fellow suppliers who refer their clients to your services.

During this hour-long networking event, attendees will break into small groups of about 5 people, where each person is invited to share a 2-3 minute overview of the services their company offers, moderated by a room host. Members can spend the rest of their time mingling and networking within their private room. We encourage email and LinkedIn exchanges among attendees to help broaden your network.

This event is open to all CFA supplier members and is sponsored by BDO Canada.
