2 Exhibit Halls = DOUBLE THE AWESOME!
We have two exhibit halls at Teen Lit Con 2024 and even more great things to check out between the spaces or spilling into the adjacent halls.
HALL #1: BOOK SALES & AUTHOR SIGNINGS
Plan ahead, TLC authors have tight schedules and signing lines will be closed on schedule. Signing lines will be indicated by balloon colors. Look for the color for your author on the schedule – balloons will be at the beginning and end of each line. Check the whole space, some signings will be under or near tents.
