CHILDCARE
Family-Friendly Conference
The
Conference organizers are very sensitive to work-life balance situations and
wanted to ensure that the conference is as much family-friendly as possible. To
do so, and with the venue’s collaboration, we will prepare a ‘family-friendly
space’ room so you can: disconnect from the busyness of the conference with
your kids; relax with your kids in-between sessions; feed your kids or have
lunch with them if you want to; change their diapers (if they are in that age);
among other real-life situations when travelling with your family. Also, the
conference is eager to provide childcare services under explicit demand working
with an external collaborator.
Childcare services
Childcare
facilities will be available at a small fee. Additional information about the
childcare schedule and bookings will be provided in due time. Should you
already wish to enquire about this, please contact: hola@centrecactus.com
DISCOVERING BARCELONA
The organizing committee recommends
a series of recreational activities through which you can discover the city in
depth, as well as enjoy a day of fun for both adults and children.
Barcelona is a box of surprises
which will keep you entertained with countless cultural and recreational
activities. Barcelona is an open-air museum. You can visit it by bus, bicycle
or on foot, and enjoy its bustling streets. There are many ways to discover the
city and a whole host of things to do, for those interested in culture, for
those in search of entertainment or for those thinking about where to do some
shopping.
We recommend you to purchase tickets for online cultural visits, in order to avoid queues. Please find HERE information on the most prominent places.
We also suggest that you accompany us on one of the two tours that we propose before
the conference dinner, designed only for conference attendees. If you're interested in one of the tours, you can register during the Registration process.
