What is The Kid3 Conference?
The Kid3 Conference is a camp-meets-conference event for kids and their grownups in Nashville, Tennessee on October 14.
We'll be playing at the intersection of art & technology while also providing family education to caregivers to ensure that their family can continue exploring our digital world safely.
While kids are in their own workshops (from NFT art to robotics), parents will enjoy their own sessions relating to the future of tech, online safety, and how to empower your kids for a healthy future in an increasingly digital landscape.
This event is designed for the whole family - with interactive stations for kids ages 6-12, teen speakers and workshops, and sessions for grownups. You'll meet some incredible friends and have an opportunity to learn, as a family, how to safely navigate digital life.
This project is funded in part by Metro Arts.

Staying Safe at Kid3
The safety of our young attendees is the absolute highest priority of the Kid3 Conference. As such, we have several safety measures in place to ensure that everyone can have a BLAST, worry-free.
Points of Contact
Wristbands with parent cell + event staff contact
Each child will receive a wristband to wear for the duration of the conference that will have a contact number for event staff as well as their grownup's cell number. This way, if they get separated or in case of an emergency, a safe adult can be quickly reached.
Vetted Volunteers
Background checks on all event staff & volunteers
Each and every one of our volunteers and staff members will undergo a background check to ensure the safety of our attendees.
Family-Only Space
Adults are only admitted entry with their child
We want this event to truly be FOR families and so we are reserving all tickets for kids and their grownups. That means no grownups allowed who are not in attendance with their child.
