Plant Biology 2010 Plant Biology 2010

CHILD ATTENDANCE POLICY

Can I bring my child to the meeting?

Plant Biology is family friendly and we welcome parents of minor children (ages 0-17) to attend the meeting. Please note that modifications to this policy have been instituted for 2010 in response to feedback from the 2009 annual meeting. To ensure the safety and care of minors, we have the following policy for attendees. There are no exceptions.

Check out our on-site child care available this year

  1. Children should be supervised by their caregiver at all times in the Plant Biology 2010 meeting facilities.
  2. Mandated by the convention center, children are not allowed in the exhibit hall during setup or breakdown for their safety due to forklifts and the use of heavy equipment.
  3. Do not leave your child unattended in the public areas of the meeting facilities, including restrooms, empty meeting rooms, hallways, lobbys, at registration, or sitting in hallways outside of meeting rooms.
  4. ASPB, partnering societies, meeting facilities, and meeting staff are not responsible or liable for your children at any time.
