CERF 2025 Family Friendliness

Enjoy the Time with Your Loved Ones

CERF strives to provide a supportive atmosphere for parents and caregivers attending our conference. Each year we try to provide specific offers for families.

Children are welcome at conference sessions/workshops, in the exhibit hall, poster sessions, and receptions (Sunday through Thursday evenings) provided they are accompanied at all times by registered adult attendees. Children can even get their own conference badges at the registration desk! Please keep in mind that alcohol will be served at evening events. Parents are asked to show consideration to the presenters and other attendees by being proactive to avoid disruptions to the scientific program.  

CERF 2025 Caregiver Support Grant (CSG)

Applications due 4 July 2025.

CERF is committed to supporting attendees with families to fully participate in the CERF 2025 conference. We're pleased to offer Caregiver Support Grants to help offset childcare expenses during the conference.

Rather than providing on-site childcare, these grants give you the flexibility to arrange care that works best for your family—whether bringing a caregiver, hiring local childcare, or other arrangements.
