FAQ's:

  • Do I have to have a spinal fusion to attend BioniCon?

    • Not at all! Where ever you are in your scoliosis journey, all curvy humans are welcome. We plan on tailoring ​the schedule of events to the needs of the people attending, so there will be applicable information and activities for everyone.

​

  • Will all types of scoliosis be addressed at the conference?

    • We plan on covering as much as possible, with a tailored focus on the needs of this small first group. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form, so that will likely be the main focus for this first conference, with the plan to expand moving forward. ​

​

  • Do I have to stay at Embassy Suites to attend?

    • No. Every attendee will be given a badge that will grant them access to the space each day.​​

​

  • Can I bring a friend or family member?

    • Absolutely, but every individual must purchase a ticket. ​

​

  • What if I have dietary restrictions?

    • No problem! We can accommodate you, please make sure to fill that out on the intake form when you purchase your ticket. ​​

  • Can I bring a pet?

    • Service dogs are allowed, but please leave your fur babies at home. ​
