What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, Area Chairs are charged a subsidized conference fee to attend the C12 CURRENT conference. This fee is offered at a discount from the published rate and is intended to cover the costs of sessions and meals during the conference.
Standard charges typically apply for spouses, family members, personal travel, and lodging. The C12 CURRENT conference is described as a special two-day event held in a resort or hotel setting, where C12 Group community members, including board members, Area Chairs, members, spouses, affiliates, friends, and non-member Christian business leaders, can gather for Kingdom/business equipping and fellowship.
Prospective franchisees should note that while the conference fee is subsidized for Area Chairs, they are responsible for covering their own travel and lodging expenses, as well as any costs associated with spouses or family members attending the conference. This is a common practice in franchising, where franchisees often bear the costs of attending training sessions and conferences, while the franchisor may subsidize certain aspects of the event.
