At the Meeting

Because of the nature of the programs and forums, no one under the age of 18 will be admitted to any official ASTRO function without first being registered by their parent or guardian. Children and caregivers will need to be registered at the on-site registration counter at the Moscone Center. All attendees must adhere to the Annual Meeting Attendee Policies.

Strollers, baby carriers or similar devices are permitted in meeting rooms and the Exhibit Hall (during regular Exhibit Hall show hours only) as long as they do not block aisles or emergency exits. Parents/guardians who bring children into meeting sessions, the Poster Hall (during regular Poster Hall hours only) or Exhibit Hall, or any other meeting functions or areas are asked to help maintain a professional, disturbance-free environment. Children must be supervised at all times.

Nursing Lounge

A Nursing Lounge will be available in Room 117 on the lobby level off of the North Lobby of the Moscone North building. The Nursing Lounge provides a dedicated space with two private nursing rooms and a refrigerator. 

Mamava Lactation Suites

In addition to the Nursing Lounge, the Moscone Center has private nursing pods – Mamava Lactation Suites – which are located in Moscone South on the lower Mezzanine Level near Room 50.
