CHILD CARE AREA
Our innovative solution for the conferences of the future
The childcare area is a unique service nationwide in a convention center, a proposal launched to promote work-family balance and offer congress attendees the opportunity to attend events with their children.
HOW IT WORKS
Children from 0 to 12 years of age are welcomed in a specially set up room inside Padua Congress Center throughout the duration of the congress. A colorful, “warm,” safe and welcoming environment, in the same structure that hosts the congresses, a protected place where parents can leave their children, but at the same time stay in touch with them during the breaks of the different sessions.
The nursery space dedicated to the 0-3 age group, equipped with a changing table and other facilities dedicated to the little ones, is next to the kids’ area for children over 3 years old and a cinema room for screenings.
THE PROPOSAL
The activities are run by a company specialized in education services with expert staff, appointed by Padua Congress Center, and include thematic workshops — from painting to creative activities — as well as playtime also in the open air, in the facility’s outdoor spaces.

PADOVA CONGRESS
FOR SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
The childcare area is a proposal to support work-life balance that stems from the demand of the MICE sector and the challenge of making Padua Congress Center an increasingly inclusive and sustainable space by favoring participation in events by parents, who in this way are encouraged to come to the city in the company of their families.

EXPERIENCES
The service was first proposed in July 2024 at the EAS – European Astronomical Society congress thanks to the sponsorship of Inaf (National Institute of Astrophysics) as part of the European Union’s Gender Equality Plan.
The initiative was highly appreciated and immediately met with great success, with more than 20 registrations from parents arriving from all over the world.

The convention center is designed as a container that can flexibly accommodate a wide variety of events. Not a "one-size-fits-all" offering but flexible spaces for "tailor-made" solutions.
