What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for all expenses incurred while attending the Dryject Conference. This includes transportation costs, meals, lodging, and other living expenses. In addition to these direct costs, Dryject has the right to charge a reasonable conference registration fee, which is currently up to $500.00.
This means that a Dryject franchisee must factor in these expenses when budgeting for their franchise. The conference is required, so attendance is not optional. The registration fee may be invoiced and paid via Electronic Funds Transfer as part of the standard monthly billing, and can be collected up to one year in advance.
It is important to note that the conference registration fee is non-refundable, even if the franchisee does not attend the conference. However, Dryject will attempt to make the substantive materials presented at the conference available through the Internet or other means. This could help mitigate some of the loss if a franchisee is unable to attend after paying the registration fee.
