What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may hold a Chain conference, potentially as part of a Wyndham Hotel & Resorts (WHR) multi-brand event. These conferences include sessions and programs specifically for Baymont Inn Suites franchisees.
Currently, Baymont Inn Suites holds a Chain conference approximately every 18 to 24 months. However, the FDD specifies that this frequency is subject to change, meaning it could become more or less frequent at the discretion of Baymont Inn Suites. In addition to the Chain conference, Baymont Inn Suites may also hold periodic regional summits throughout the year.
Furthermore, the FDD states that Baymont Inn Suites requires general managers to attend an annual national leadership conference, which typically occurs every 12 to 18 months. This national leadership conference may be included as part of a WHR multi-brand conference. Franchisees are billed for the costs of these conferences, regardless of whether they attend. Therefore, a prospective franchisee should factor in the cost of attending or not attending the national leadership conference into their budget.
