Top Three Reasons to Bring Your Children to The Lean Startup Conference
This year, for the first time, The Lean Startup Conference is offering onsite childcare for attendees’ kiddos. If you’re a parent, that means you can join us in San Francisco this December, and you can:
- Focus on learning. Instead of worrying that you’ll be late to pick up your kids from daycare, you can concentrate on the conference speakers and opportunities to meet other relevant (adult) attendees.
- Turn the conference into a family vacation. Develop your professional life and nurture your family life at the same time. You won’t miss sessions to coordinate childcare or if you have a co-parent who needs to work while in town.
- Know your kids are safe, entertained and nearby. We’re contracting with reputable childcare providers who know how show kids a great time.
For years, The Lean Startup Conference has provided not only unique talks and opportunities to meet relevant entrepreneurs, we’ve also made a point of creating a respectful, energetic and professional environment for you. This year, we’re leveling up our commitment to making the conference accessible to more people by offering onsite childcare. We’re not the first conference do so—the AERO Conference, BlogHer and Mozilla Festival have been out ahead on this option. But it’s not yet common at conferences, and we want to help change that.
How does our onsite childcare work?
You can choose half-day or full-day childcare on the main conference days of December 10 and 11, for children 3 months and up. We’re designating space at The Fairmont San Francisco for this. Of course, The Fairmont is the conference venue, too, so you can stop in to say hi during breaks or at lunch. We’ll also provide a quiet space for nursing moms.
Who will care for your kids?
We’ve contracted experienced childcare professionals who are recommended, screened to work with children, certified in CPR and First Aid, and uniformed.Your children will participate in kid-tested activities that are age-appropriate, stimulating, and of course, fun. Lunch and snacks are part of the deal.
How much does it cost?
5 hours or less: $100 per child
5-9 hours: $180 per child
How do you register for childcare?
When you sign up for the conference, our registration page also gives you childcare options. To arrange for both days of childcare, select two tickets for the half- or full-day option. After you register, we’ll follow up with you for additional information regarding your child.

We hope to see you—and your family—in December!
