I'm all for kids at conventions.

I think there should be areas for them to enjoy themselves, and programming for them and creches.

But I'm not altogether sold on this I've seen adults behaving badly so it's okay to have kids anywhere there too reasoning.
An adult can be held responsible for themselves in most cases. If they're acting obnoxiously they can be cautioned by peers or committee.

Most people would feel uncomfortable cautioning a child out of the blue, it's perceived as being the parents' job.

A committee member can't really say to a child that they must leave.

Great discussion Danny, I'd say the time was very ripe to have a "surviving Swancon with kids panel" both for parents and other participants.
