2025 AP Summit – Coral Gables, Florida

Loews Coral Gables Hotel

The purpose of our Allied Partner Summit is to bring together our Denny’s supplier Partners, the DFA Board of Directors and special guests that include Denny’s, Inc. influencers and decision makers and other franchise owner groups. We follow a successful agenda of sharing ideas and goals to build our brand. Issues and initiatives that are pertinent to the brand are discussed. Each Allied Partner Supplier meets with the decision makers for the brand to show case their products and services.

Two complimentary attendees are included as part of your Allied Partner membership, additional attendees are $1,000 per person.

Please note that if you do not stay at the host hotel you will be charged a fee of $1,000. The DFA does commit to a room block for each event and if the room block is not met the DFA has to cover the commitment.
