Who is responsible for transportation, lodging, and meals expenses to attend any Kidokinetics national business meeting or convention?

According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering their own transportation, lodging, and meal expenses when attending any national business meeting or convention. Kidokinetics schedules these events, which can last up to 3 days annually, at a location they designate.

In addition to covering their own travel and living costs, franchisees must also pay a registration fee per attendee, as determined by Kidokinetics. This means that attending the national meeting involves a potentially significant out-of-pocket expense for franchisees, encompassing travel, accommodation, food, and the registration fee itself.

This arrangement is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the costs of attending training and conventions. It's important for prospective Kidokinetics franchisees to factor these expenses into their financial planning, as attendance at these meetings is mandatory. Understanding the potential costs associated with these meetings will help franchisees budget accordingly and avoid unexpected financial strain.
