Network.
TCDL 2015 will introduce an exciting new opportunity to gather info, extend conversations or just take a break with colleagues: the TCDLounge! We've arranged a comfortable area for attendees to check email, watch or deliver a demo, chat with a friend from another institution - or your own! - or just settle in with a cup of coffee. The TCDLounge will be open during conference hours. You'll even be able to arrange times for meetings or demos using a sign-up board and the Twitter hashtag #tcdlounge!
Stay tuned for more news about the full program schedule, coming in mid-March!
