Matthew Byrd, Founder & CEO of Reality Capture Network, sits down with VP of Creative Phillip Ellering and Senior Copywriter Ellis Malmgren to unpack the five-year evolution of RCN’s flagship conference, R-CON. From its humble beginnings to becoming one of the industry’s most collaborative and forward-thinking events.
This year marks a turning point: R-CON just hosted its fifth conference and is gearing up to expand into Boise, Idaho’s largest venue next year. But that’s not all. Matthew and the team introduce The RCN Collective, a new membership-based community designed to extend the energy of R-CON year-round.
Inside the Collective, members can connect through:
✅ Technical discussion forums
✅ A project requests board
✅ Collaborative channels and social hubs
✅ A searchable membership directory
✅ An exclusive content library
✅ The new RCN Committees
Join Matthew, Phillip, and Ellis as they discuss the evolution of community, innovation, and what’s next for the Reality Capture Network.
