This event was free and featured panels, interviews, and an Expo Hall. We also offered virtual social spaces to bring attendees together and engage in meaningful discussions.
The goal of this event is to connect and support active fan, academic & artistic ARMY.
Through Rhizome Connect, we hope to provide instruction, connection, and inspiration, giving ARMYs worldwide the opportunity to grow, discuss, and learn.
Many members of the R3 Journal staff attended the first-ever BTS conference in January 2020 at Kingston University in London and had an amazing experience that we want to replicate. After consulting with Dr. Colette Balmain, who organized that conference, we decided to dive in and bring ARMY together again to provide support for each other during this challenging time.
Our guiding principles are: Quality Affordability Accessibility Personal development Connection
While we wish we were hosting in person, this virtual event offers an opportunity for more people to attend and showcase their work, especially if they were unable to make it to the conference in January or finished their work later and have not had a chance to present it. Even if you have presented your work elsewhere, we encourage you to submit if allowed by your previous commitments. We can’t wait to see what you have to share with us.
We hope to have more events like this in the future.
Thank You
