Why Comic Con Connections
For the past two years we have run Basingstoke Comic Con and we have taken the lessons from that to motivate us to create a new comic con at Newbury Racecourse which we have chosen to call Comic Con Connections because:
Connection is why we’re here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship
— Brené Brown,
We wish to run an event which brings everyone together to celebrate their connections to fandoms and to each other.
