Do babies need tickets?
No. Babies under a year old do not require a ticket. To help maintain a focused learning environment, however, children under the age of 10 are not permitted inside smaller session rooms during the day, and families may be kindly asked to step out if needed. Evening main stage sessions are family-friendly and welcome children, but we encourage parents to make use of the dedicated children’s programming during the day.

Children’s program registration takes place on-site upon arrival at the venue. Parents and guardians can proceed to the children’s program check-in area to register their child in the appropriate age group. If a children’s ticket has been purchased in advance, registration is guaranteed.
Do I necessarily have to drop my child off in the children’s program?
To help maintain a focused learning environment, children under the age of 10 are not permitted inside smaller session rooms during the day. Families may be kindly asked to step out if needed, and we encourage parents to make use of the dedicated children’s programming available. Children can join parents during the evening’s main stage sessions, however.
What does “parallel sessions” mean?
Parallel sessions are smaller, topic-focused talks or workshops that run at the same time as other sessions during the day. These allow attendees to choose from multiple discussions based on their interests and age.
Is seating guaranteed for sessions?

How do I choose sessions?
The convention is designed to allow attendees to choose how they want to spend their time by selecting the topics and conversations most relevant to their stage of life and interests. Throughout the day, a wide range of sessions take place simultaneously, each focused on different themes and audiences. Attendees can review the program schedule in advance and choose sessions based on their interests, age group, or topic preference. You are free to move between sessions as space allows.
