The conference hosted a welcome reception for the participants and a children’s program that included fun foods, balloon animal and real aquatic animals from the petting zoo. Alumni of VCU gathered in Dr. Laver’s suite for a reception and to catch up on careers. The VA chapter of the academy of pediatrics had a business meeting and various vender displayed their products and books.
