My daughter is going with me to Conference. This is my first year so wondering what cost she will incur by going (other than room cost)? How can I find out so she can plan her finances? So excited about going!!!!
 
If she wants to attend any sessions with you, she'll have to pay the registration fee as well.

If she's going to tour around Chicago while you're in meetings (which is really all day and all night) then she'll need to research and plan for that.
 
Hi there! That's so exciting that you and your daughter will be attending Conference together this year. The cost for your daughter will depend on a few factors, such as her age and whether she will be attending any special events or activities. I recommend checking with the Conference organizers or checking their website for more information on registration fees and any additional costs for specific events. That way, your daughter can plan her finances accordingly. Have a great time at Conference!
