Family-friendly information

Once again, we are pleased to provide a dedicated family-friendly room in the Congress venue for delegates with young children who will be in attendance. This room will have child-friendly snacks and activities including an arts and crafts table, age-appropriate games, and an assortment of small books and toys. Children and families are welcome to use and share items within the room as needed. We do ask that all entertainment items please remain in the space for other children and families to use throughout the Congress.

The Congress virtual platform will be live-streamed into the space so WMS attendees with families can experience the Congress content while also spending needed time with family members.

Children must not be left unattended in the room at any time.

Please note that children are not permitted within the rest of the congress spaces or events.

If you are travelling with your children, and you are a WMS member, you may also qualify for a caregiver grant. In person delegates can use these grants of up to £1,000 to cover the costs of bringing their children and an appropriate care provider to the Congress with you. You can find out more on the caregiver grant page of the Congress website. 

The Visiting Vienna website has some great tips for seeing the city with children.
