The embroidery and screen printing industries are unique in the fact that a large number of companies are family-run concerns. Because minors are often involved with parents in the actual business, is is difficult, if not detrimental, to exclude them from trade shows for this industry.

DAX itself is a family-run concern, too, with minors from the managing family participating in the execution of the event. You very well might meet our children at the show. DAX does not discourage well-mannered minors from participating in the trade show experience. We welcome well-behaved minors to experience the exhibit floor or seminars. But please understand that no person under the age of 18 can be allowed on the exhibit floor or in seminar rooms without direct adult supervision. All persons on the exhibit floor are expected to elicit a demeanor befitting a business atmosphere. Any persons causing disruption, or minors not being acceptably supervised will be required to leave the exhibit floor and/or seminar rooms.

Some attendees have been known to carry infants or bring toddlers. Please be aware that there will be running machinery present on the trade floor and that very small children may not understand the dangers these devices represent. For smaller children, strollers may be used, and it is recommended that children be strapped in.

All persons (except infants / stroller occupants) are required to wear show-issued identification badges. If you are bringing a minor with you, please pre-register them at the same time as you register yourself so that they may receive a free name badge too. If you are registering on-site, 1 child under age 10 may receive a "Guest" badge free of charge when accompanied by a registered adult.

Seminar Attendance:

It is our policy to allow 1 child under the age of 8 to attend seminars with their parents without a ticket in cases where that parent has no other person to supervise their children. In these cases it has been expected that the parent is responsible to control the child during the seminar to ensure that the child causes no disruption. Children above this age have been required to have a ticket, as they are considered old enough to gain knowledge from the seminar. If you are supervising a child during a seminar, you are asked to please remove the child from the room at the first signs of any non-businesslike behavior. Of course, we welcome you to return to the seminar room as soon as the child is ready. Any person causing a disruption, whether they have a ticket or are a minor meeting our requirements for admission, will be asked to leave the seminar room.
