What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor determines whether or not an Annual System Conference will occur. If the franchisor decides to hold the conference, they also determine the dates, content, and location. The purpose of the conference is to facilitate networking among Deer Solution franchisees and provide general education.
The Annual System Conference will not exceed three consecutive days per calendar year. Franchisees are responsible for all costs associated with attending the conference, including travel expenses.
This means that attendance at an annual conference is not guaranteed. If Deer Solution decides to host a conference, franchisees will need to factor in the cost of travel and attendance, which could include transportation, lodging, and meals, in addition to the annual conference fee, which cannot exceed $1,500.
