Therefore, we encourage participants to make childcare arrangements at home, if possible. If that is not possible and your child will attend with you, please make sure you bring activities to keep them entertained so that all participants may enjoy the conference. Please note that our catered lunch does not include a kids menu. Bring a lunch for any child attendees.
