Registration for the 2025 Footprints Floors convention is currently open to all franchise owners and their guests. Click here to register.
While it is required for at least ONE franchise owner to attend the annual convention, it is by no means limited to franchisees only. We encourage you to bring employees, and/or family members. Keep in mind that classes and meetings, as well as any mandatory evening social event, will be designated for adults only. Staying at the host hotel is mandatory for the franchise owner.
Attire is business casual for all events, with collared shirts (no T-shirts for men except the official convention T-shirt), shorts (not athletic), jeans, pants, and hats. We request you wear Footprints Floors branded clothes during the convention to make yourself and the Footprints Floors brand identifiable. We also recommend bringing a sweater or light jacket, since personal preferences vary regarding room temperature during events.
The hotel’s cancellation policy varies by reservation, rate, hotel, and dates, so please refer to your confirmation email for details.
