Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

American Franchise Act Update
Q: Why is franchising seen as a bipartisan winner, and how does the Act address concerns from various sectors?
Franchising is framed as a small-business engine that benefits diverse communities; the Act is pitched as a targeted solution for the franchise sector that sidesteps broader regulatory debates affecting other industries, which helps secure cross‑party support.
American Franchise Act Update
Q: What is the current status of the American Franchise Act and when might it reach the House floor?
The Act has gained significant bipartisan momentum with a large number of co-sponsors, and the House is expected to consider it in September during a window that coincides with the IFA Advocacy Summit, though calendar pressures could affect timing.
Franchise Advocacy Year End Review
Q: What can people do to get involved in 2026?
People can engage at both state and federal levels by visiting franchise.org to access the advocacy page, sign up for the weekly newsletter, contact their representatives, draft letters with the IFA, and participate in meetings or introductions—even remotely from their location; the IFA team offers templates and planning to help individuals make their voices heard.
Live at IFA 2026 with Matt Haller, Ali Kraus, Mark Spencer, and Jack Monson
Q: What's the biggest change you've seen from 15 years ago to today at the IFA, and how are you applying it to this year's event?
The leadership emphasizes moving away from the same old formats toward a more engaged, 'always-on' experience with deeper, two-hour workshops and practical, action-oriented content, supported by an expanded focus on member engagement and benchmarking through new partnerships and AI-enabled tools.
