Not sure how many members are from Illinois or somewhat close to travel for this event. This is a good event that has a few vendors and each transplant hospital in Chicago giving out information on their transplant program, able to talk to other of similar transplants and other things. Last couple years it cost $10 a person, but you get breakfast and a nice lunch. They sometimes have dialysis vendors there such as Baxter who take questions. Each year is different on what other vendors show up, what speakers there are. it's easy to get to off I-88
