[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. You are missing the point. As you started off saying, you were an intern at a company that did work relevant to this conference...not a random teenager tagging along with their parent. If OP's kid has genuine interest in the field, he might be able to develop a successful network...but he would still be a lot more successful at this if he were coming with the badge of a company relevant to the field (not his parent's companion).

FWIW, I might be polite and chat with someone's kid, especially if they seemed genuinely interested in and engaged in the field. But overall, I would not consider that networking for me but rather mentorship...and I have plenty of mentees in whom I'm already fairly invested.[/quote]

NP. The intern went to the conference his 2nd week on the job.  I would venture to say that he had no value to contribute at the conference.  OP’s kid is not a teenager, he is a college student.  [/quote]

Can you please explain how you conclude that OP's son is "not a teenager" when OP describes him as "my eighteen years old college freshman DS." Last I checked, and maybe I'm getting old, but "eighteen" is a teenager, meaning below the age of 20.[/quote]

According to the government, an 18 years old is an adult and css as n enlist in the military to battle.  Most importantly,  they can vote.  That’s not a teenager.[/quote]
