Family Services

For participants who are considering bringing their families, the conference will endeavour to provide options to help keep your child/children engaged during the conference. Due to safety and liability issues, we would not be able to provide full-day childcare at the conference.

We have the following options available for your consideration:

Family workspace

A room will be available for parents to use for various activities such as feeding, napping, playing, reading, etc… There are plans to bring in external vendors to run programmes and activities suitable for children from ages 2 and above. If you are interested to sign up for these programmes, please indicate in the form below.

To ensure the safety of the children in this workspace, please note that only authorised personnel who have registered with us will be allowed to enter and interact with the children (e.g., vendors running the programmes). Likewise, only the authorised parents or relatives will be allowed to enter the workspace.
