Children

The AHA does not allow children between ages 6 months to 18 years in the Exhibit Hall at any time. Infants under 6 months will be allowed in the Exhibit Hall during show days only. For insurance, liability and safety, infants must be held at all times; strollers and infant carriers will not be allowed. Parents are required to sign a liability waiver before taking an infant into the Exhibit Hall, and badges will need to reflect that a waiver has been signed. Waivers will be available at the family-member registration area. Because of the professional nature of the program and limited seating, children are not allowed into scientific presentations.

Infant Care Stations

Infant changing stations are located in all restroom facilities.
