Additionally, in the future, we may hold annual conferences for our System franchisees at such place as we designate. If so, we may require that you (or your Operating Principal) attend these conferences and we may charge reasonable registration or similar fees for the conferences (See Item 6). You will be responsible for any costs that you and your personnel incur, including your travel and living expenses, in attending the annual conferences.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may hold annual conferences for franchisees. If these conferences are held, Engineering For Kids may require the franchisee or their Operating Principal to attend.
The franchisee will be responsible for covering all costs associated with attending the annual conferences. These costs include travel, living expenses, and wages for themselves and their personnel.
Engineering For Kids may also charge reasonable registration or similar fees for the conferences, adding to the overall cost for the franchisee. This mandatory attendance policy ensures that franchisees stay updated on the latest developments and best practices within the Engineering For Kids system, but it also represents a potentially significant expense that franchisees must budget for.
