The past 18 months have no doubt been stressful. From health concerns to business worries and more, much has been weighing on all of our minds. While ATD21 is a time to get together and learn, both for ourselves and our organizations, it’s also more than that—it’s a time to connect with others and to relax and unwind.

One of the best places to do that is on the Quad. This space is a nod to college days, when students would gather in a central grassy area, kick off their shoes, and chat and laugh with friends. Located in Hall A of the Salt Lake City Convention Center, the Quad is a relaxing space to informally connect with your peers, kick back in some cozy seating, and play yard games such as cornhole and Jenga.

Additionally, be sure to visit the Virtual Lounge. ATD21 is unique this year, with attendees not only joining in person in Salt Lake City but also online. Connect with virtual attendees and chat via the Virtual Lounge; take a brain break with a five-minute yoga video; or download the ATD coloring page and de-stress with art.
