Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will there be virtual options for the 2025 event?

We will be recording the different sessions so you can view them at any time after the event. This will happen a few weeks after the event. Stay tuned to social media and our newsletters for more details.

2. Is the age range strict?

General Congress – The event content is created for young adults. The age range for congress is 18-35 but we are not strict on this. This event is also for professionals of any age to learn more about the community. Please note that we will not offer any childcare options.

Do not hesitate to register if you’re in this age range.

Juvenile Onset HD Track – We encourage families impacted by JoHD to attend accompanied by a caregiver including under 18.

3. Will there be translation services available?

We will be working on translation services once we have determined the funding to support this.

4. Will childcare be available at the event?

No, childcare will not be provided as part of our event. We have considered it, but it isn’t workable for us. You can bring children to the event if you wish, but childcare won’t be available.

5. Is congress like a HDYO camp where HDYO funds your trip?

No, congress is different to a HDYO camp where everything is covered by our funding and the young person pays nothing. For congress, young adults will have to pay their own way to attend. We do have a scholarship fund available to those that may need some help getting there.

6. Are meals included in your registration?

We will provide some meals. Breakfasts will be your own responsibility. Lunches will be served and some dinners.

76. Is the event just for young adults?

No, it is also for professionals from the HD community, as we will provide daily training for them to attend if they wish.

8. What hotels can we stay at?

HDYO has special rates at a range of nearby hotels. Stay tuned for more details.
