Events around the country and online

The Franchise Association of New Zealand (FANZ) organises regular events all round the country to encourage all those with an interest in franchising to get together, learn more about the issues involved and share ideas and experiences. New visitors are always welcome and are often surprised at the level of openness and support from experienced franchisors and specialist advisors. There’s also a guest speaker to address specific topics of mutual interest.
