Hello!

This is a pretty special thing, y’all — it’s the 10th annual VidCon. It’s hard to get my head around how much has changed.

Ultimately, though, it all comes down to one thing. The internet allowed people to share the stuff they made with no barrier. We still have closed platforms, like Netflix and cable TV, but the explosion of open platforms allowed people to find audiences with no barriers and no permission.

And, let me tell you, when we were planning the first VidCon we had no idea how massive the significance of that would end up being. Audiences who had never had content made for them were suddenly seeing themselves represented in content. Independent creators could take risks that major media companies never could. New genres popped up like popcorn. And as audiences and communities gobbled it up, this open content ecosystem took over the whole dang world.

But as that’s happened over the last decade, a lot of things have also stayed the same. Ultimately, when the wall between creators and audiences fell, a few things happened.

One, we realized that that relationship was where the true value was. That was clear to creators and it was clear to audiences. And, to this day, though things have changed a lot, the relationship between creators and their communities reigns supreme. And two, we realized that, in many ways, we’re all creators. Whether it’s on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, Snapchat, or any of a dozen other platforms, the door is open for us all to make things.

That door is open as wide as it ever has been, which is why at every VidCon, I invariably meet creators I’ve only recently discovered, and discover creators I can’t wait to hear more from. Being able to be a part of the growth of this new creative era and this event is one of the great privileges of my life, ...and I’m so thankful to you for coming out and being a part of the 10th annual VidCon. Hank Green Co-Founder, VidCon

Creators today have a unique opportunity to spark dialogue and provide support around mental health because of their powerful, intimate relationships with audiences online. When creators share personal stories about their struggles, it has the potential to help both their own healing and their audiences’. But we’re often uncomfortable sharing the tough parts of life — especially as it relates to mental health — and if we aren’t careful, it can cause more harm than good. Join us for an open conversation about tackling mental health experiences digitally, including tips on how to talk to audiences about these sensitive issues as a brand and a creator.

We’ll also discuss how creators are managing their own mental health, balancing the constant pressure to churn out content while avoiding creative burnout.

I Can STEM: How Women Are Changing the Face of Education ROOM 210 Merrell Twins, Karina Garcia, Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl)

While approximately two-thirds of girls are interested in science in fourth grade, something happens in middle school that leads to a sharp decline in girls’ participation in STEM; women make up half of the US college-educated workforce yet hold only a quarter of all STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) jobs. By showcasing the accomplishments of real women via digital platforms that young girls love, we can rebrand STEM as cool, creative, and inspiring.

Ultimately, we can fuel the next generation of women in STEM.

17

Creators want to meet and talk to the people who love their content, and the people who love their content want to meet them. At the same time, we want you to enjoy all that VidCon has to offer, rather than spend too much time waiting in line!

All meet & greets have been ticketed ahead of time through a randomized lottery that took place in June. The lottery has already been drawn, and there isn’t a way to get into the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall if you don’t have the appropriate access on your RFID wristband.

When you picked up your badge at registration, you received your RFID wristband, which holds all of the meet & greets that you were selected for in the lottery. Damaged or defaced wristbands will not be honored; they may be replaced for a $20 fee. They’re specifically designed to withstand showers and parties and all kinds of stuff, so keep them on! You will not get into your meet & greet session if you don’t have it.

3

Please note: some creators are doing several sessions during VidCon, but you will only be allowed at the specifically scheduled time given to you with your lottery results.

Once inside the hall, there will be signs to remind you who will be in each area. Head to the correct queue line and your wristband will be scanned to make sure you are in the right place. Once you are scanned in and confirmed, you are good to go!

Don’t forget to say hello to the person next to you in the queue zone — chances are you have a lot in common!

Types of meet & greets at VidCon.

Please check the signage & listen to staff instructions to help speed the process along.

1) PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS:

You’ll be given a card with a website and an ID code after your photo is taken. You can then go to that website, enter your code, and it will take you straight to your photos!

Sorry, no selfies at this type of session!

Some creators may allow autographs — please listen to staff for further instructions. Don’t worry if you’re not seeing your photos right away.

Pictures can take up to 24 hours to appear on the website.

18

You can line up in Hall D for each session ONE HOUR BEFORE the scheduled start time through ONE HALF HOUR AFTER the scheduled start time. If you show up earlier, security will tell you to go explore the amazing Expo Halls and come back later. If you show up late...well, don’t show up late.

2) SELFIES AND AUTOGRAPHS:

Pretty self-explanatory! Please respect a limit of up to one selfie and/or one item signed.

3) ROUNDTABLE:

Attendees will sit in small groups, and the creator will stop by each group to chat for a bit before moving on to the next group. No selfies/autographs are allowed unless otherwise stated by security or staff.

BAG CHECK INFORMATION Your bags are permitted in the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall but will be subject to search. Alcohol, drugs, weapons, and items that can be mistaken as weapons are expressly prohibited, as per our Code of Conduct. If you bring a gift for a Featured Creator, please leave it unwrapped and visible, and please do not bring gifts of food unless they’re factory sealed. Use your best judgment regarding what kinds of things you bring to give to a Featured Creator — most of them travel to get to VidCon and won’t be able to take, for example, a 6 foot tall teddy bear back with them.

Analytics with MatPat and Steph ANAHEIM BALLROOM A

Christopher Chan (Director of Content - Cut.com)

There’s an old internet maxim: don’t read the comments. According to popular logic, the comments are a dumping ground for trolls, copypasta, virulent forms of bigotry, and spam — but do they need to be? In an algorithmic age that has structured the circulation of fake news, hate speech, and conspiracy theories, we need to restore public commentary in the public sphere. What if we radically rethought our relationship to the comments section, and took commenters and commenting seriously? What if we considered commenting a public responsibility, and asked our audiences to collaborate in the co-production of our content? What if the comments are really the content?

Matthew Patrick, Stephanie Patrick

How do you make sense of the numbers? How do you translate analytics into strategy? Matt and Stephanie Patrick are here to guide you through the data science and practicalities of data analytics.

Online profiles mean anyone is a few clicks away from pulling up an entire digital profile of your personality, interests, accomplishments, and goals. In other words, everyone has access to your brand. As a creator, this provides an extraordinary opportunity to connect with those who share your interests.

But where there is great opportunity, there also comes, extraordinary risk. The internet is a permanent place where what you put online, stays online. From cyberbullying to future employers, it’s important to understand how the content you produce can be used against you in potentially harmful ways.

Manatt-Vorhaus Digital Strategy Study - Digital Media Consumption HEADLINER STAGE

The Evolution of YouTube: An Insider’s Guide Down Memory Lane HEADLINER STAGE Ash Karbasfrooshan

(Founder & CEO - WatchMojo) By the mid-2000s, web video had shown promise but remained fairly underwhelming. YouTube burst onto the scene in 2005 and took the ecosystem by storm, and before long, Google acquired the then-absurd sum of $1.65 billion to acquire the fledgling video platform. Like the perfect storm that led to its parent Google’s meteoric rise, YouTube never looked back, and a decade after its birth, YouTube’s grip on the marketplace remains stronger than ever. Do the risks and challenges it faces pose an existential threat to its future, or will it be able to leverage its market dominance to steamroll ahead?

Cassie Roma, Head of Content for The Warehouse Group & Member of VidCon’s Advisory Panel, breaks all of the rules to help you build your most impactful strategies yet when it comes to experts, gurus, ambassadors, and (yep, you guessed it) influencers.

Is the consumer really in charge of consumption? Or are we just seeing a return to a new normal of bundled services. Get ready for a cavalcade of insightful facts that show where today’s media consumer is really headed.

Deepfakes and Synthetic Video: Don’t Panic; Prepare BREAKTHROUGH STAGE

Twitch Fireside Chat HEADLINER STAGE

(Program Director - WITNESS) Deepfakes have become a critical concern for celebrities and politicians. But as more sophisticated audio and video rapidly emerge how do we get beyond the apocalyptic discussion of the end of trust in images and audio?

Based on our collaborations with technologists, media companies, journalists, and civic activists, you’ll learn about types of deepfake and synthetic media, what’s possible with the technology, and what we can do to defend truth, accuracy, and our faces and voices.

It is vital to us that VidCon is a safe place for all attendees. VidCon is a private event, and people who mistreat or disrespect other people may be removed and not allowed for the duration of the event. VidCon reserves the right to permanently ban attendees and guests who do not comply with the Code of Conduct, including for future events put on by VidCon. Please use good judgment and be respectful, as we’ll dislike throwing you out almost as much as you’ll dislike being thrown out. Also, please keep in mind that we are sharing the convention center campus and hotels with others, and it is our duty to be friendly neighbors.

Not everyone “gets” this thing we are all into.

Let’s show everyone that we are a positive and friendly group. By registering to be in attendance at VidCon, you hereby agree to the following:

HARASSMENT

MINORS

Disorderly conduct may include (but isn’t limited to) any behavior that is illegal, unsafe, disruptive, discriminatory or causes discomfort to our attendees or guests. If someone doesn’t want to talk to you, don’t keep talking to them. If you do not have permission to touch someone, do not touch them. Please view our Anti-Harassment Policy for more information.

VidCon is an all-ages event. An attendee’s age may affect whether they need a ticket and if they are permitted to attend on their own:

Pranks that are emotionally, mentally, or physically harmful to any people or property at VidCon, actually or potentially, are prohibited.

If we hear about anyone pranking in ways that are disruptive to the well-being of our guests, attendees or staff, disciplinary action may be taken, up to and including being banned from future events put on by VidCon. PROHIBITIONS

ACCESS VidCon badges and RFID wristbands are required for attendance to all official VidCon events.

Badges must be worn around the neck and visible at all times. Badges and RFID wristbands are non-transferable.

We do not clear rooms between events. All activities have limited capacity as set by the Fire Marshal, so even though your badge and wristband are required to access all activities, it does not guarantee you access to any activity if it has reached its capacity.

All meet & greets are of a limited nature and your VidCon badge and wristband do not guarantee autographs or photos in the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall.

FEATURED CREATORS The Featured Creators who participate in VidCon are excited to see attendees, but please be respectful. They need to be safe and ensure all attendees are safe while moving around the event, so do not run at or crowd around Featured Creators in public walkways, near escalators, or around doorways.

Creators also need to take a break at their hotel, so attempting to follow them to their rooms or to restrooms, riding the hotel elevators, waiting in the hotel lobby, or any other similar behavior is prohibited.

Purchasing a VidCon ticket does not guarantee that you will meet a particular Featured Creator.

LISTEN TO STAFF All VidCon attendees and badge purchasers must adhere to the instructions of all VidCon employees and agents, all security employees and agents, the staff of Anaheim Convention Center,and any and all law enforcement personnel.

Alcohol, drugs, illegal substances, weapons, and items that can be mistaken as weapons are expressly prohibited, even if they are part of a costume. Masks or other headpieces that cover the entire face are not allowed. Large backpacks are not allowed, and other similar containers are subject to search and may be prohibited.

Unlawful sale or attempted sale of badges and RFID wristbands will result in the revocation of those credentials without refund.

IMAGE RELEASE

Minors 8 & under do not need a ticket but must be accompanied by an adult (18+) who has purchased a ticket to attend VidCon. Minors between the ages of 9 and 15 must have a VidCon ticket and must be accompanied by a ticketed adult (18+) at all times.

Minors 16 or older are not required to be accompanied by a chaperone if it’s OK with their parent/guardian. If a parent/guardian would like to accompany their child in any capacity, they need a ticket to attend VidCon. Parents or adult supervisors of minors are responsible for the actions of minors they are supervising. Minors may be prohibited from certain areas due to the sale of alcohol at certain locations.

VIDCON TERMS OF USE All VidCon attendees and guests are required to adhere to this Code of Conduct. The VidCon badge, which is required for admittance to all VidCon activities, is a revocable license. VidCon or its designees may, without refund, revoke this license for noncompliance with these terms or for disorderly conduct.

This is the part where we go ahead and state the obvious: VidCon is an event produced by, for, and about online video enthusiasts. As such, VidCon may be recorded or reproduced by VidCon, its designees, and/or attending participants. By registering to be in attendance at VidCon, you hereby authorize VidCon, its designees, and/ or attending participants to record, transcribe, modify, reproduce, perform, display, transmit and distribute in any and all media, in any form, and for any purpose any such recordings of VidCon. By registering for VidCon you hereby release VidCon, its designees, its employees, its agents, and/or its attending participants from any and all claims or causes of action you or your agents may possess, now or in the future, in connection with such activities.

ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER TERMS OF USE

VidCon reserves the right to change or modify any policy or rule at any time and without notice.

You assume any and all risks occurring before, during, or after VidCon. You release VidCon, Viacom International Inc., and the Anaheim Convention Center and their agents, licensees, assignees, employees, and their respective affiliates and representatives from any and all claims or causes of action arising from or related to VidCon events.

Attendees of VidCon agree to observe and comply with any and all applicable policies, rules, and regulations of the Anaheim Convention Center. VidCon or its designees may, without refund, revoke this license or refuse admission for failure to observe and comply with any and all applicable policies, rules, and regulations of the Anaheim Convention Center as determined by VidCon and/or the Anaheim Convention Center.

Attendees of VidCon agree to observe and comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Government of the United States, State of California, County of Orange, and the City of Anaheim.

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 VidCon the best weekend ever; laugh, dance, and celebrate with new and old friends alike.

Don’t go too hard. Be sure to take care of yourself by drinking plenty of water, taking regular meal breaks, and getting enough sleep.

If you’re planning on hanging out in the Arena Plaza or AwesomenessTV Festival Area, 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 Anaheim Convention Center Admin Office located off the Arena Plaza.

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.

Don’t forget to try new things. It can be easy to get stuck in your comfort zone, but with so much to do and see at VidCon, there are tons of fun new things to enjoy and celebrate.

Do be respectful and courteous of others, whether it be VidCon staff, security, or another attendee. Take a peek at our Anti-Harassment 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 forget to socialize and make new friends.

We’re all here because we’re passionate about online video, so it’s very likely that those around you share many of the same interests. VidCon can be a great place to 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. If you have any questions about the rules, 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 if you need help, feel unsafe, or witness anything inappropriate. Again, your safety and comfort are extremely important to us, so please don’t be shy! If you see something dangerous, you can also call our 24-hour emergency hotline at (657) 203-9695.

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 #VidConUS! And as always…

Don’t forget to be awesome!

Statement of Policy:

Definition of Sexual Harassment:

Reporting an Incident:

VidCon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, age, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Use of lewd or discriminatory language and imagery is never appropriate at VidCon US. Anyone violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the event organizers.

Sexual harassment does not refer to occasional compliments or other generally acceptable social behavior. Sexual harassment refers to verbal, physical, and visual conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome and offensive to the recipient.

By way of example, sexual harassment may include such conduct as sexual flirtations, advances, or propositions; verbal comments or physical actions of a sexual nature; sexually degrading words used to describe an individual; an unwelcome display of sexually suggestive objects or pictures; sexually explicit jokes; and offensive, unwanted physical contact such as patting, pinching, grabbing, groping, or constant brushing against another’s body. Overly-revealing cosplay may result in requesting violators to cover and/or leave the convention floor. Attendees asked to stop any sexually harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a VidCon staff member immediately. VidCon staff members can be identified with their official staff name badges. All complaints will be treated seriously. If you cannot find a staff member to assist you, please go to Registration where a VidCon staff member will be present.

Definition of Harassment: Harassment includes, but is not limited to, offensive verbal comments, whether blatant or via micro-aggressions, related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, national origin, religion, age, marital status, military status, or any other status protected by law; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; display of offensive signs, gestures, tee-shirts, symbols, etc. Attendees asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Scope of Policy: This Anti-Harassment Policy applies to all attendees at VidCon including: participants/attendees, guests, staff, sponsors, and exhibitors. All attendees are expected to comply with this Event Anti-Harassment Policy at the event venue and all event-related social events.

Disciplinary Action: All reports of harassment will be directed immediately to VidCon organizers who may consult with and engage other staff, leaders, and legal counsel as appropriate.

Event security and/or local law enforcement may be involved, as appropriate, based on the specific circumstances.

In response to a report of harassment, VidCon may take any action they deem appropriate. Such actions range from a verbal warning to ejection from the event without a refund. Repeat offenders may be subject to further disciplinary action, such as being banned from participating in any future events.

How do I figure out what’s going on at VidCon?

There are multiple ways to find out what’s happening around you at VidCon. You can look through our agenda in the guide you are holding now or check our website at vidcon.com/fullagenda. You can also download our app! Just search VidCon in the app store. The app is your one-stop shop to be totally in the know of what’s happening in the VidCon world. To be super duper up to date, you can also follow us on Twitter @VidCon.

What does my badge/RFID wristband give me access to?

Community Track attendees have access to all content taking place on the first and second floors of the main building and the AwesomenessTV Festival Area. This includes four halls filled with panels, Q&As, expo booths, concerts, and more.

If you participated in the Meet & Greet Lottery, you will also have access to the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall downstairs during your allotted sessions. Check the Community Track schedule on page 12 to see what’s what!

Creator Track attendees have access to the third level of the main building, which includes Creator Track keynotes, lounges, workshops, panels, and a reception Saturday evening. On Saturday, Creator Track attendees will also have access to the second floor of the ACC North on Saturday. Creator badge holders also have access to everything Community badge holders have access to EXCEPT the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall. Head to page 30 to see all that’s in store for the Creator Track!

Industry Track attendees have special access to the second floor of the ACC North building, which will include Industry Track keynotes, workshops, the Industry Lounge powered by Airtable, panels, and a reception on Thursday evening. On top of that, Industry badge holders have access to all events happening within the convention center, including the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall (but only if they participated in the Meet & Greet Lottery). See page 44 for the full Industry Track schedule.

Where is the thing I’m trying to go to?

Maps of the whole convention center and surrounding areas are on pages,10,24,31,45, & 68. Each agenda item will have a room number or name next to it, so cross-reference that with the map and you’re good to go! If you still feel lost, ask a staff member or guard, or visit our VidCon Info Desk in Lobby C.

Is there WiFi?

Yes, WiFi is available at the convention center.

However, with 20,000+ people trying to connect at once, it may not be the best. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do to make it better, but we’re sure you will figure out something that will work.

How do I share my experience at VidCon 2019?

Tag everything with #VidConUS. That includes your videos, Facebook and Instagram posts, tweets, twitches, pins, snaps, and chats.

How can I meet my favorite creator?

The Meet & Greet Lottery results have been distributed. You must have the proper wristband and credentials to enter the Instagram Meet & Greet Hall. However, our Featured Creators will also be participating in panels, Q&As, and other fun content throughout VidCon, so there are lots of chances for you to see them this weekend. A limited number of impromptu, first-come, first-served meet & greets will take place in Hall D at the PicsArt Bonus Creator Appearance Zone. Because these are spontaneous, we can’t share ahead of time who will be there or when, but you may have a chance to see one of your favorites there! Download the VidCon app and follow @VidCon on Twitter for live updates on appearances in this area during the event!

Where can I score a delicious meal?

My badge or wristband was damaged or lost. What do I do?

Damaged, broken, defaced, or lost credentials can be replaced for a $20 fee. If you replace a wristband, the original wristband will be deactivated and a new one will be loaded with all of your current info. Simply visit the Registration Help Desk at either Registration location to purchase replacement credentials. You must provide a photo ID or some proof of purchase in order to get a replacement.

Where are the All Gender Bathrooms?

All Gender Bathrooms may be found in the following locations: Outside of Lobbies A and C, near ACC Room 205, ACC Room 304, ACC North Room 254.

What services do you provide for attendees with disabilities?

Please see the information below. If you have any questions, please visit the Accessibility Info Desk in Lobby C.

Quiet Room

The quiet room is located in ACC Room 205. We ask that folks not eat, talk, or make noise in this room as it is intended to be a dedicated quiet space.

Seating

Don’t let the hanger set in! There are plenty of options around the convention center, including a bunch of great food trucks in the AwesomenessTV Festival Area and the Arena Plaza, as well as some food court options within the convention center.

There is designated accessible seating in all content rooms.

I’m a parent/guardian. What should I do all weekend?

Wheelchair/Scooter Rental

If your child is under the age of 16, you must accompany them at all times. If you have purchased a VidCon ticket, you can enjoy quality bonding time with your child by going to programming to learn more about this whole online video thing.

It’s been quite a year.

“

Over the last 12 months, it seems that online and social video have turned a corner from rainbows and unicorns to something darker.

From the increased scrutiny of Facebook and Google/YouTube by governments worldwide to the increasingly impossible games of whack-a-mole played by top platforms as they attempt to squelch horrific and hateful content, our favorite escapes have also become havens for haters — and much, much worse.

Sort of, unfortunately, like the real world.

And as “influencer” surpassed “authentic” as the most overused word in online video, we saw a rise in fake and virtual influencers, and an influencer became the youngest person to ever be worth a billion dollars (*cough* Jenner *cough*). Nattily crafted moments became the biggest thing on some platforms, supplanting the real moments and emotion that bring us back to our favorite creators day after day and year after year.

But despite the tawdry edges and airbrushed corners, the center still brought us great joy and great progress. The expansion of fantastic places for creators to find a home continued apace, with LinkedIn finding its stride, TikTok becoming a hotbed of creativity, Pinterest leaning in with new video capabilities, Snap rebounding with great design and a real Android product, and Twitter continuing to build out a strong news and streaming business.

There have never been more wonderful places to build community and surprise and delight a growing audience.

The definition of a “social video platform” continues to evolve and expand in exciting new ways while continuing to foster a sense of community. In the biggest moment in Fortnite history, VidCon 2018 performer Marshmello dazzled a crowd of over 10 million spectators, all gathered in the game’s Pleasant Park.

72

Plus, creators now have many more great ways to get paid for what they do. Patreon made big strides this year, rolling out new capabilities and features as it continued to become more mainstream. New ways to create and sell to your audience continued to develop; and as the lines between traditional celebrity and online video celebrity blurred, we entered a new continuum between traditional media and the new media world we love so much. Hey, did you hear that Will Smith is on YouTube?

Or that Lilly Singh is doing a late-night show on NBC? Those are just a few examples of the genre-busting fluidity that we saw develop since last we gathered in Anaheim.

Oh, and your favorite online video event will officially become a tween as we put on our tenth show this week in the US. We’ve expanded in many exciting ways, from a new focus on building your career and creative chops on the Creator Track to our first famous pet track — in partnership with The Dodo — on Saturday.

We built a basketball court in the Expo Hall, where you can play against top creators, and on the Industry Track the IAB is bringing a Direct Brand Summit to the event on Friday. With more panels, concerts, parties, and activities than ever before, our 10th VidCon is going to be our best yet — by far! And we’ve brought back most of the original speakers from VidCon One! So if you see a VidCon staffer, or one of those OG creators, wish them a happy 10th birthday, and please join me in thanking Hank and John Green for building such an amazing thing that is so very clearly built to last!

Jim Louderback GM, VidCon

As we look back at ten years of VidCon, please join me in thanking the dozens of big, beautiful brains (dozens!), hundreds of voices, and thousands of warm hearts that have brought us here.

First, thank you to our team: Colin, Jim, and Sarah, thank you for continuing to pull me out of my comfort zone and push us forward together. Travis, Valerie, Ryan, Natalie, Ana, Chelsea, Kailee, Justin, Wendi, Fiona, Hannah, Silvia, Melissa, Jeannette, Duncan, Brooke, Celine, Gerardo, Mark, Stacey, and Jacques, thank you for the literal blood/sweat/ tears and also literal bear hugs/shaka bras/uproarious laughter you’ve given me and each other.

To the incredible talent that surrounds us in real life at the event, and online throughout the year, thank you for being pillars in your communities, thoughtful with your peers, and honest and careful with yourselves. Thank you especially to the creators who came together with Hank and John to make the first VidCon in 2010, for braving a hotel basement for the sake of making meaningful connections.

Thank you also to the sponsors who help provide such an incredible buffet of events and experiences for our guests, and to Brent, Natalie, and Bri for your work on the sponsorship team. Thank you to Lauren and your team for making these visions a reality. Thank you to all the security, catering, electrical, A/V, hospitality, vendor, and okay, everybody teams who keep the gears turning for this massive endeavor that is VidCon. Thank you to our new Viacom family for giving us the resources to grow and explore the world of live events in ways not previously possible. Thank you also for allowing me to continue to live in the mountains.

Thank you to the fans for loving and living online video.

Thank you to the parents who encourage your children to do so, to the friends and family who don’t totally understand this world but allow you (and us) to.

Together we have crafted this world, this celebration of online video, and I am indebted to you all for whatever degree of contribution you may have made along the way.

Stay hydrated!
