What does "syndicate" mean in the following?

You will need four syndicate rooms for this exercise. In room 1 will be dreamers who are tasked with generating ideas and passing them to the realists in room 2.

Thank you.

I had never heard this term (syndicate room) used in AmE, but a quick Google search indicated that these are small meeting rooms. The citations I noted were all for hotels and conference facilities in Great Britain.
 
Yes, in BrE, syndicate rooms are rooms set aside for small meetings.

Definition 2b of "syndicate (noun)" HERE will help you understand why.
 
Thank you all for the help.
