What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject has the option to conduct a national or regional conference annually, with the specifics of the event determined at their discretion. Franchisees are required to attend this conference and cover all associated expenses, including travel, meals, and lodging. Dryject has the right to charge a Conference Registration Fee, which is currently capped at $500.00.
This fee is non-refundable and must be paid even if the franchisee does not attend the conference. Dryject may invoice and collect this fee up to one year in advance through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as part of the standard monthly billing. However, Dryject states that they will attempt to provide all substantive materials presented at the conference via the Internet or other means.
For a prospective Dryject franchisee, this means budgeting for an annual conference that includes the registration fee plus travel and lodging costs. Even if a franchisee cannot attend, the $500.00 fee is still due, so it is essential to factor this into the operational budget. While Dryject aims to provide conference materials online, the mandatory attendance suggests that in-person participation is highly valued for the training and networking opportunities it provides.
