What is the Sync Up Station It’s a dedicated
space where TLA members can come
together to share, learn, create, meet, and so
much more. You can gather at the Station’s
tables and chairs to have a quick meeting,
hold an impromptu session, continue a
conversation with a speaker, or just recharge
your batteries. Sign up for a time slot if you
want to plan ahead or just show up. The area
is big enough for several groups to meet at
once. Check out the topics each day to see
what interests you. Find the Sync Up Station
near the Registration Area in Exhibit Hall 5.
