Family Support

The MobiSys organizing committee has arranged for daycare near the conference location (likely within the conference hotel, pending confirmation). The current arrangement spans the whole week (Sunday through Friday) up to nine hours per day. ACM is covering part of the cost but we can not provide this service for free. The fee is $50 per full day and child, $25 for students (pending confirmation).

If you are interested in this service, please send a note to Wolfgang Wörndl woerndl@in.tum.de as soon as possible, and indicate the number of kids and their ages as well as the days you would need daycare for. Please note the conference organizers or care provider do not provide accident insurance during the period of care.
