Participation in many HOSA Competitive Events at ILC requires competitors to upload digital materials. For the 2023 – 2024 membership year, a new system, the HOSA Digital Upload System, will be used. This integrates with the existing HOSA Conference Management System (CMS) so the uploads will be very user-friendly for members and advisors.  All instructions for the HOSA Digital Upload System and Competitive Events can be found in the event guidelines and summarized here.
