The BUILDEX tradeshow floor is intended to be a professional Business-to-Business environment so it is highly recommended that children do not attend. In a situation where this is unavoidable, access will be allowed onto the tradeshow floor during show hours but the parent/guardian will be responsible for ensuring appropriate behavior is maintained and any unforeseen damages. No on-site daycare is available. Note: Due to the professional classroom setting, no children are allowed in the seminars.
