About Children
Due to liquor being served at the evening reception, we prohibit youth (18 years and younger) from attending. For their safety, children are also restricted from entering the Exposition Hall and Poster Sessions at all times. Our program is geared for adult participation and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
