This is networking without an agenda, where friendships form over shared passions.A Creator-Fan BridgeWhere industry professionals can feel the pulse of their fandoms, connect authentically with their audiences, and discover emerging talent. Where fans can celebrate their passions without judgment and potentially meet the creators who inspire them.A Creative IncubatorEquipped with live streaming capabilities, podcast recording spaces, and creative workshops, we provide the tools that empower the next generation of content creators.

By the mid-2000s, nerd culture was no longer niche; it had become an undeniable, multigenerational, global force. Now franchise IP commands global parks and mega-conventions, attracting hundreds of thousands at a time—high-cost, high-effort gatherings that few can access regularly. Meanwhile, sports culture is anchored by neighborhood bars in every city, open to fans week after week. Our fandoms want more. Scum \u0026amp; Villainy revealed the demand, but it was just the beginning. Scum \u0026amp; Villainy: Rendezvous is an opportunity to begin filling the void, with a fan-funded, first-of-its-kind, permanent installation where fandom isn’t just an event, but a living community—a multiverse of opportunity.
