Family Resources

Resources

IGARSS 2023 aims to be family friendly. We’re working on some initiatives to accommodate families of all types. If you are interested in registering family and/or caregivers who are accompanying you for non-professional reasons, please reach out to the inclusion team for a special registration code. We are registering those under 10 for free, and we are charging $50 for those 10 and up. With this registration, they will have unlimited access to the venue, including the family room.

We will have two spaces set aside to accommodate parents, children, and caregivers:

Family Room

The family room is in room 209/210 in the Conference Center.

This room will serve as a space for families and caregivers to congregate and take a break from the conference.

Here is a list of resources available in the family room:
