If you are bringing a child to the 2026 World Congress on Pain, the following steps are required: 

  1. Complete the Accompanying Child Form below.

  2. Review and sign the required legal waiver.

Accompanying Child Form  Liability Waiver

Please Note: 

  • Parents or guardians retain full responsibility for the care, supervision, and safety of their child always, including during travel to and from the World Congress and while on-site.  

  • Children must remain under the continuous, direct supervision of their parent or guardian for the entirety of the event.  

  • Attendance at the World Congress involves inherent risks, including those that may arise from the actions or negligence of others; by bringing a child, the parent or guardian acknowledges and assumes these risks on behalf of themselves and the child.  

  • IASP does not provide childcare services, supervision, or medical or financial assistance; parents or guardians are solely responsible for any medical care, expenses, or other needs that may arise.  

  • By signing the waiver, the parent or guardian agrees to release IASP and its affiliates from liability for injury, illness, property damage, or other claims arising from participation in the event.
