Riverdale Conference
- 8:30am-5pm, UHouse, F125

A rag-tag group of ill-advised pop-culture junkies at the University of the Fraser Valley is proud to host this second semi-academic conference on the Riverdale television series and all its related universes, including the comics and the new Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Located a few kilometers away from where both shows are filmed, UFV is the ideal spot for this conference, which will provide a platform for explorations of Archie from multiple disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, including creative presentations. The conference will feature roundtable panels with presenters giving 10-minute talks followed by discussion.
