Hi Anand,
Thanks for the inputs. Our objective is to understand the effectiveness 
of the childcare option. As far as I understand, there have been very 
few or no takers in the previous years, please correct me, if I am wrong.

There can be various factors, that could result in this. One for example 
could be, people are not willing to leave their kids within some unknown 
XYZ person at the conference venue. We just want to understand this 
better, and see if we could come up with alternate options.

This is exactly what we want to do, as well. We just want to ensure that 
the childcare, will be a convincing option.

Regards,
Vijay
