Conference ABCs
Children at the Conference
Babies and children interacting with their parents are an LLL conference’s most distinctive and heartwarming sight. Families are responsible for considering and meeting their children’s needs. If during a session your child becomes disruptive or needs comforting, everyone appreciates your reason for leaving the room and returning when your child is ready. Caregivers must be at least 12 years old and have your complete schedule at all times.
Due to fire and insurance regulations, strollers are not permitted in the conference area. Exceptions will be made for individual situations. Protect your little one’s safety in your arms or in a baby carrier or backpack.
Exhibitors
If you are interested in having an exhibit at the Area Conference and/or placing an ad in the Program Booklet, please contact the Area Conference Coordinator at [email protected] for more information.
