Kid friendly meetings are more than just child’s play

School’s out for the summer! For kids, this means swimming pools and sleeping until noon.

For professional parents, it means more family time but also more juggling when it comes to daily duties and traveling for work. So when it comes to planning summertime conferences and events, why not offer your attendees the best of both worlds-professionally planned kid-friendly meetings !

Celebrating 20 years in business this summer, ACCENT on Children’s Arrangements has made it its business to create memorable meeting experiences for the whole bunch. Sure, there are additional challenges and expenses that may be incurred, but all parties – meeting planners , attendees and their families – all agree that they are well worth the investment. Read on to learn some of the many advantages of having a professionally planned kid-friendly event from three different perspectives.

Advantages for the meeting planner:

• Planners report saving time, money and energy as all the pre-planning, staffing, registration and post-program evaluations are taken care of
• Planners can have more time to focus on the many other details of the meeting
• Increased meeting attendance and retention
• Increased company loyalty due to the fact that their “company cares”
• Happy employees
• Glowing event evaluations!

Advantages for working parents:

• Parents have “peace of mind”
• Parents can feel good about including their families in their work rather than leaving them behind
• Parents can guiltlessly stay for the entire meeting, rather than breaking away early
• Parents see the economic value in turning a business trip into a family vacation since some costs will already be covered by the company

• Parents can feel comfortable with leaving their children in capable, professional hands
• Parents’ enthusiasm and loyalty is renewed when they feel that their company cares

Advantages for children:

• Children gain exposure and appreciation for their parent’s line of work
• Children have the opportunity to make lifetime friends with others from around the country and world
• Children can learn about the history, culture and geography of their host city
• Children can feel safe, secure and happy with age-appropriate programs and activities
