Exclusions

  • Children may attend lunch and share with parents/guardians but boxed lunches are pre-ordered and only available for registered delegates
  • Breakout sessions are not suitable for toddlers and older children as we have limited seating and the sessions contain medical content that is inappropriate for children
  • Exhibit hall move in and move out: health and safety regulations prohibit anyone under 18 years of age in the exhibit hall during this industrial period

Child care options

  • For other times throughout the conference, most hotel partners offer reputable nanny services; please refer to our Hotel and Travel page for details
