How often does Baymont Inn Suites currently hold a Chain conference?

According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may hold a Chain conference, potentially as part of a Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WHR) multi-brand event that includes sessions and programs specifically for the Baymont Inn Suites brand. Currently, Baymont Inn Suites holds a conference approximately every 18 to 24 months. However, the FDD specifies that this frequency is subject to change.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that attendance at a Chain conference is not necessarily an annual event. The infrequency of these conferences suggests that Baymont Inn Suites may rely more heavily on other communication methods, such as email, telephone, or an internal online platform, to disseminate information and updates to franchisees. Franchisees should confirm the expected frequency and format of upcoming conferences during their due diligence.

In addition to the Chain conference, Baymont Inn Suites may also hold periodic regional summits throughout the year. These regional summits could provide more localized and frequent opportunities for franchisees to network, receive updates, and engage with the franchisor. Franchisees should inquire about the typical schedule and content of these regional summits to understand the full scope of available training and networking opportunities.

Prospective franchisees should also note that general managers are required to attend an annual national leadership conference, which typically occurs every 12 to 18 months and may be part of a larger WHR multi-brand conference. Costs for these conferences are billed back to the franchisee, even if they do not attend, highlighting the importance Baymont Inn Suites places on leadership training and participation in these events.
