What is Emerge?

Emerge 2022 is a two-day conference produced by students, for students interested in media. The Media Reset will take a deeper look into how media and communications, and media careers, have changed and evolved. Especially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and the various and ever-changing ways media is consumed. The two-day conference (March 29 – 30, 2022) will include in-person as well as virtual sessions, with must-see guest speakers, hands-on workshops and interactive opportunities.

The conference – as well as a print magazine, web magazine, Instazine and visual showcase – all comprise a multi-faceted capstone project by students in the Media and Communication Studies program at the University of Guelph-Humber
