What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Americas Best Value Inn FDD, the Brand Conference, where franchisees can network and attend educational seminars, will be convened no less frequently than every 24 months. If a franchisee has paid all conference fees as per the agreement, one representative may attend the Brand Conference without an additional registration fee.
However, the franchisee will be responsible for the travel, lodging, certain meals, and other out-of-pocket costs for their attendees, as well as the registration fee for each additional attendee beyond the one covered by the conference fees.
Franchisees are also required to attend the Brand Conference, which may be held virtually at the discretion of Americas Best Value Inn. This mandatory attendance underscores the importance Americas Best Value Inn places on ongoing training, networking, and adherence to brand standards within its franchise system.
