Is Deer Solution required to hold an annual system conference?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Deer Solution is not required to hold an annual system conference. The FDD states that Deer Solution may, at its discretion, coordinate an annual conference to be attended by franchisees of the System that are in good standing.

This means that attendance at an annual conference is not mandatory for franchisees, and Deer Solution reserves the right to decide whether or not to hold the conference each year. This differs from some franchise systems that mandate attendance at annual conferences as a condition of the franchise agreement.

For a prospective Deer Solution franchisee, this implies that while there may be opportunities to network and learn at a system conference, it is not a guaranteed event. Franchisees should inquire about the frequency and typical content of these conferences during their due diligence to understand the potential benefits and networking opportunities.
