Nothing beats a learning experience that happens face-to-face, even at a time when all the information you need can easily be searched and accessed online. The proof is our always-packed SmartParenting.com.ph baby showers and mom workshops that we "supersized" last year into one big event, the Smart Parenting Convention.
This year, the Smart Parenting Convention was held at SM Megmall Megatrade Hall 3.
The turnout exceeded our expectations — the Smart Parenting Convention hosted over 1,000 moms and dads!
The place was packed with shoppers on the look out for the best deals.
