What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Deer Solution is not required to coordinate an annual system conference. The FDD states that Deer Solution may choose to coordinate an annual conference for franchisees in good standing, but it is not an obligation.
This means that as a franchisee, you cannot rely on Deer Solution to provide this opportunity for networking and training. Whether or not a conference is held is entirely at Deer Solution's discretion.
Franchisees should inquire about the likelihood of these conferences occurring and whether Deer Solution has held them regularly in the past. This information can help a potential franchisee understand the level of support and networking opportunities they can expect from the Deer Solution franchise system.
