You probably already know about the R3 Showcase, right? It’s an event that we host every couple of months to share the latest R3 Project developments with the AC community. But did you also know that it’s the perfect place to ask questions about the R3 Project?

Ask away!

During these events, attendees can use the Questions and Answers feature—or Q&A, for short. You type in the question, and it gets added to the Q&A panel. Then, our team answers your question in one of two ways:

  • We answer your question live during the Q&A portion of the event. We keep an eye on the most upvoted questions to answer first.
  • We send you an email with the answer if we didn’t get to your question during the event.

If you think of a question after Showcase is over, that’s OK! You can also ask us questions between Showcase events by sending us an email.
