There may be casein and gluten in the children's lunches and snacks. Parents will need to supply their own food if their children are on special diets. New this year: A special room has been set aside for mothers of infants who want to attend the conference. There will be a live audio feed from one of the sessions to that room throughout the day's events. There will be no child care provided for infants and children under age 3.
