Meal Plan

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase at the time of registration. The Meal Plan intended to cover 4 lunches and 3 dinners over the conference dates. Delegates who purchase the plan will receive a declining balance card which can be used at 605 Commons (SCE) and JST Café (JST). Flames Fare may be used at any time in any of the participating locations. All dietary requirements can be met including vegan and gluten free. UIC offers summer guests “all-you-care-to-eat” dining in the cafeteria at Student Center East. Guests may eat all they want while in the cafeteria but nothing may be taken out of the cafeteria.

Meal Plan: $75 USD

For those who do not wish to purchase the meal plan card, there are eateries in and around campus but will be limited to Summer hours. More information regarding hours of operation will become available here as we receive information.
