[Conference-europe] bringing families

Tue Mar 17 15:24:29 PDT 2015

Dear Jachym

I don't know if it easy to organize or not. We have never considered that possibility before but we can check and provide you some information. Is there a private kindergarden in Como. I wrote them yesterday but they have not yet answered. I can also ask some touristic agencies if they have something to propose.

About accomodation, my suggestion is to look at airbnb.  Consider that this year there is the EXPO in Milan and therefore I suggest you to book as soon as possible.

I let you know as soon as I have more information for kids or partner programs.

Cheers.

Oggetto: Re: [Conference-europe] bringing families

Hi all,

since the overall feedback was in general positive, following questions should be clarified with LOC and our families:

1. is LOC able to prepare some highlights, which could be interesting for our families with kids of different age?
2. what about affordable accommodation in the area?
3. what about family-friendly social event, at least one of them (some garden party?), where kids could spend some time together, as well as their supervisors (parents)

If those 3 questions are simple to be answered, we should organize some getting together of interested attendees (separate mailing list?)

Any hints?

Dear all,

making a venue like this family friendly is a very interesting and
challanging idea. Thanks for addressing this point.

Were you thinking about some baby sitting services or kids corner?
This could be offered  with a little extra cost.

In my case, both parents are interested in attending the conference and in
these days we were just  discussing how to organize with the kids.

Keep us informed,

all the best,
