PRESENCE OF CHILDREN
Our events are often blended with family vacations, and we encourage and celebrate that! However, in our ongoing effort to provide a professional education training experience and out of respect for our trainers and attendees, we do not allow children to be in our training sessions, panel discussions, or networking events. Attendees will need to make arrangements for child care during these times.
