esponsible for your own airfare, lodging, meals not provided to attendees and other costs incurred in attending.
Additional Seminars, Meetings and Conferences
In addition to our QCEs we may also conduct other seminars or hold annual meetings or conferences from time-to-time for the benefit of all franchisees whose attendance may or may not be mandatory. We will charge our then-current registration fee, once established, and you must pay for the expense of salaries, travel, meals, lodging, and miscellaneous expenses of you attending such seminars, meetings or conferences.
We also currently hold an annual EOS Conference designed for companies operating on EOS. Implementers are permitted, but not required, to attend the EOS Conference only if three or more of your Clients attend. The registration fee for each Implementer varies and is determined based on the number of your Clients registered for the EOS Conference. If three to five of your Clients attend, you may attend the EOS Conference and will be required to pay the full registration fee. In 2025, the registration fee is $2,500. If six to nine of your Clients attend, you may attend the EOS Conference and will be required to pay half of the registration fee. If ten or more of your Clients attend the EOS Conference, you may attend the EOS Conference and will not be charged a registration fee. We reserve the right to revise the Client attendance thresholds. When determining the number of Client attending, we look at the number of individual registrations, therefore, if two or more individuals from the same organization/Client attend, then they will count as two Clients for purposes of determining your qualification and registration fee. If you qualify to attend the EOS Conference and attend in person, you will be responsible for your own airfare, lodging, meals not provided to attendees, and other costs in attending. We reserve the right to hold the EOS Conference virtually, if we do, you will be responsible for charges you incur in attending virtually.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at additional seminars, meetings, and conferences is not always mandatory. Eos Worldwide may conduct other seminars or hold annual meetings or conferences from time to time for the benefit of all franchisees. However, attendance at these events may or may not be mandatory. If a franchisee is required or chooses to attend, they must pay the then-current registration fee, as well as cover the costs of salaries, travel, meals, lodging, and miscellaneous expenses.
The document also mentions the annual EOS Conference, which is designed for companies operating on EOS. Implementers are permitted, but not required, to attend the EOS Conference only if three or more of their clients attend. The registration fee for each implementer varies and is determined based on the number of clients registered for the EOS Conference. For example, in 2025, the registration fee is $2,500 if three to five of the franchisee's clients attend. The franchisee is also responsible for their own airfare, lodging, and meals not provided to attendees.
In addition to these optional events, Eos Worldwide organizes Quarterly Collaborative Exchanges (QCEs) annually. Franchisees must attend QCEs as part of their tier requirements. The monthly membership fee includes registration for one QCE per quarter. If a franchisee requests to attend more than one QCE in a quarter, they will be required to pay the then-current registration fee, which is currently $1,000. Eos Worldwide may require that franchisees attend any of the QCEs in person, and the franchisee is responsible for their own airfare, lodging, meals not provided to attendees, and other costs incurred in attending.
