Why is there a charge for children and teens to attend?
We have arranged a special program for teens. The teen charge helps offset the expense of bringing in their speaker and the related facilities charges. We charge for younger children because we are not equipped to handle a very large number of children at the Convention Center. The seminar is geared toward adults. We understand, however, that some cannot arrange child care and we want to give them the option to bring their children if necessary. Arizona is part of a shrinking minority around the country in extending this option. Please be respectful of the Convention Center property and staff since they have been so gracious in allowing us to continue this practice.
