The Franchise Industry Awards 2025 will culminate in an exclusive After Party, offering a sophisticated setting for attendees to connect and celebrate their collective achievements.
According to the official announcement by the FCA, nominations for the Franchise Industry Awards 2025 are open to both members and non-members and are free of charge. Submissions can be made via a secure online portal, where individuals can nominate either themselves or others for consideration.
In response to recent extreme weather events in Queensland and Northern New South Wales, the nomination deadline has been extended to 9th April 2025.
Award finalists and winners will receive exclusive FIA logos, allowing them to promote their achievements across their marketing channels and brand materials — an initiative designed to strengthen industry recognition and consumer trust.
In addition to the awards night, ticket holders will receive complimentary access to the FCA’s Franchise Forum, a full-day industry event also being held on 25th June at the Fullerton Hotel.
This forum will bring together industry leaders, experts, and innovators to discuss the future of franchising in Australia. Designed to foster professional development and high-level networking, the forum is available exclusively to FIAs attendees, offering additional value and engagement in a single, seamless experience.
The FCA has also announced that sponsorship opportunities are now open for organisations wishing to align their brand with one of the most prestigious events on the franchising calendar. Sponsors will gain national exposure and the chance to connect directly with influential industry stakeholders.
Interested parties are encouraged to contact Helen Alfa at helen.alfa@franchise.org.au to receive the full sponsorship prospectus.
The Franchise Industry Awards 2025 represent a significant step forward in celebrating the role of franchising in Australia’s economy and communities. From emerging entrepreneurs to established networks, the FIAs aim to highlight the innovation, dedication, and leadership driving the sector forward.
