DOS & DON’TS
by VidCon
DO HAVE TONS OF FUN!
We’ve put together a great schedule packed full of activities, live performances, panels, and Q&A sessions, all with YOU in mind. Make the most of your VidCon experience; laugh, dance, and celebrate with new and old friends alike.
DON’T OVERDO IT.
Be sure to take care of yourself by drinking plenty of water (extra points if it’s a reusable water bottle), taking regular meal breaks, and getting enough sleep. If you’re planning on hanging out in the Festival, don’t forget to put on some sunscreen and bring extra to reapply!
DO DRESS FOR SUCCESS.
Comfortable shoes and clothing are a must. Pro tip: The temperatures in the convention center and outside are very different, so don’t forget to wear layers or bring a jacket just in case. That being said, VidCon is a great place to show off your style and express yourself!
DON’T LEAVE YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS UNATTENDED.
If you happen to leave something behind, be sure to check the Lost & Found in the ACC, just off the Arena Plaza. VidCon is not responsible for items that are stolen, lost, or left behind.
DO HAVE A GAME PLAN AND COME PREPARED.
We don’t want you to miss a thing, so give yourself plenty of time and arrive early. If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to download the official VidCon app to build your own schedule and enable notifications so you’re always up-to-date on everything happening at the event. Be sure to check your emails and our socials as well!
DON’T FORGET TO TRY NEW THINGS.
It can be easy to get stuck in your comfort zone, but with so much to enjoy and celebrate at VidCon, the possibilities are endless!
DO BE RESPECTFUL AND COURTEOUS OF OTHERS — Whether it be Featured Creators, VidCon staff, security, or another attendee. Take a peek at our AntiHarassment Policy if you’re ever unsure, and in general just treat others how you want to be treated. Remember, pranking in a way that is physically or emotionally harmful, even for the purpose of a video, is unacceptable.
DON’T BE SHY.
We’re all here because we’re passionate about digital content, so it’s very likely that those around you share many of the same interests. VidCon can be a great place to make new friends, connect with others, and build lasting relationships.
DO FOLLOW THE RULES.
Above all, we want everyone to be safe and comfortable, so please don’t do anything that is unsafe or could get you in trouble. Please take a look at our Code of Conduct. Let’s show everyone what a great community we are!
DON’T HESITATE TO TALK TO VIDCON STAFF OR SECURITY IF YOU NEED HELP, FEEL UNSAFE, OR WITNESS ANYTHING INAPPROPRIATE.
Again, your safety and comfort are extremely important to us, so please feel free to reach out! If you see something dangerous, you can also call our 24-hour emergency hotline at +1 657-544-2623.
DO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE!
It makes us so happy to see that you’re having a great time, so be sure to share your photos on social and tag them #VidConAN23!
And as always….
DON’T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!
