Exhibition Hall at Lifesavers - Fee? Free?

Gypsy and I are possibly going to LifeSavers with two other women who are not techs and have little interest in CPS stuff. So, we're wondering if they will be able to go to the exhibit hall, or if there will be a fee to just get into the exhibit hall, or what.

Anyone know?

Last year, they had a hotel security guard posted at the entrance to the exhibit hall. There were times when the hall was closed and you weren't allowed in. All of the conference attendees have name tags to identify themselves and technically you shouldn't be able to access the exhibits or any of the conference sessions without one. However, security seemed pretty lax about this at the Chicago Hilton. DH and the kids were able to get into the exhibit hall with me without any problems or questions.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's not a huge deal if they couldn't come in with us, but they are interested in seeing everything, and I'd hate to leave them out -- it's certainly not worth it to them to pay the registration fee just to get into the exhibition hall.

We are really hoping to be able to make it! It would be fun to meet everyone that's going from here!

I am going and so is a girl from the other board. She is also bringing her baby and is going to split my room with me. We will be staying at Red Lion. I hope you two can come. It will be great to meet people in person from the boards.

I am glad to see more people are going. So kids are allowed? My friend wants her 9 yr old to go for atleast one day. He is very into car seats and mom wants to measure him in some of the new seats.

I think so as long as they are not disruptive. I think Pappooses took her DD last year. I myself need a break from my kids, so They are not going. The girl rooming with me, her baby is still BFing, so her DD has to be with her.

I wouldn't count on security being lax, Tiffany and I were stopped a couple of times because of Leila. They always let her in (LOL) but they didn't like it.

You mean they did not want to babysit for Tiffany :rolleyes: LOL
I suppose they could turn down a small child entering with thier parent. Why though if the child is well behaved and the conference staff is fine with it. :twocents:

Leila was an angel the entire time, they didn't want to let her in the exhibition hall because she didn't have a conference ID. lol

Like they really expected a young child to have a ID. That is nuts! I will tall Casey to make sure she asks for one for the baby she may need it LOL

They ignored babies in arms (slings) or strollers. I think it was cause Leila actually walks and talks they had issues. ;)

In theory that's a great idea, in reality I could never afford to. I'd not only have to pay her, but pay her way, her food etc. That's not an option.

She just wants to bring him one day. My step daughter will probably babysit the rest of the time. I just found out inventory at work with be April 15 and 16. Dang!!! I am going to be tired!
