<p>I did not attend BDD with my kid given DS experience flying alone and of course there being no need for me to be won over by the event. OTOH, the program that is open to adults is amazing with many gifted lecturers, a showcase of a capella talent, etc. and I think it would be fun to go as a parent. As CCParent states, the evening program does not exclude parents but certainly seems more geared to kids. Compared to move in days where it is clear they want the parents gone on Saturday afternoon, BDD is welcoming to parents who choose to attend.</p>
