• A series of Joy Stops located around the conference space.

• Each Joy Stop offers:

  • a short thought about joy

  • an optional playful or reflective invitation

• At each stop, you're invited to share a small Joy Nugget - your own tiny artifact of the moment.

• Use this website as your home base.

• Explore the list of Joy Stop locations below. Pay attention to the availability of the spaces you are visiting.

• When you arrive at a Joy Stop, scan the QR code (or use the short URL) nearby.

• Read the prompt and try the activity if you'd like.

• Create a Joy Nugget - a word, photo, sketch, or short reflection that captures what the moment meant to you.

• Keep your Joy Nuggets in any way that works for you.

• When you're ready, submit your Joy Nugget(s).

A Joy Nugget is a small artifact you share in response to a Joy Stop. It might be: a single word, a short phrase, a poem, a photo you took, a quick sketch, something crafty, and/or something you noticed or felt in whatever format you prefer.

• 1. Everyone who participates and submits at least 1 Joy Nugget is a winner and gets the TCDL's beautiful "I Found Joy at TCDL 2026" Sticker. 

  2. Anyone (or group) who submits at least 3 Joy Nuggets is entered into a raffle. Raffle winners will be announced at the end of the conference.
