FAQ
How do I register for the ILC?
All registration must be completed through Ms. Chuang using HOSA’s online registration system; she'll send out a form/ask in-person if you're participating in ILC this year.
​
What are the registration fees?
Fees vary by year and may include conference registration, lodging, and optional tours. Check with Ms. Chuang for the current price, but it ranges around 1500-2500 dollars.
​
Is food and water provided?
No, food and water is not provided, as in SLC, but the advisors may bring you to nearby food courts and you're welcome to DoorDash.
​
Can family members attend?
Family members and friends are expected to book their own flight ticket if they choose to travel with us and generally aren't allowed to stay with their children. Ask Ms. Chuang for further clarifications if you're a middle schooler.
