No problem I enjoyed all your criticisms. I like the ideas of the wording. I will say one thing is that I want the wording to be as general as possible. This way it is the same wording with different images if I wanted to create marketing posters with the same theme.
As far as getting kids with different age groups and ethnicities I would prefer to do that, but as of now there are a couple of problems. 1) This conference is in a month and I need to get one done soon. 2) The kids in the picture are my nephews and they don't come with the difficulty of getting a model release form :) 3) I had this image so this was easy to work with. Anyway, I will upload a new version soon with some corrections we'll see how it goes.
