1. VidCon
VidCon US: June (Anaheim, California)
VidCon Europe (Amsterdam): March/April
VidCon Australia: August/September
In 2017 over 30,000 YouTube enthusiasts – from fans to A-list creators – attended VidCon US, and that was thousands of more people than attended in 2016. It’s hard to imagine that this event – the biggest convention for YouTube and online video – will do anything but grow over the next few years.
VidCon was founded by the Vlogbrothers in 2010 as a place for internet friends to meet in real life.
Passes:
There are three different types of passes for VidCon – the Community Track, the Creator Track, and the Industry Track.
The Community Track is for anyone who loves YouTube and wants a chance to see their favorite creators and meet other fans. Pricing ranges from $100 to $180, depending on how early you buy your ticket.
The Creator Track gets you to access to all the same events as the Community badges (except for the Meet & Greet Lottery*), plus even more panels and workshops that will help you become a better creator. Pricing ranges from $150 to $250 depending on how early you buy your ticket.
The Industry Track is for anyone working in online video or video-adjacent industries, like advertising, branding, or talent management. There are panels on online marketing and working with influencers. Pricing ranges from $550 to $850, depending on when you buy your ticket.
*The Meet and Greet Lottery is a chance for anyone attending with a Community or Industry pass to meet their favorite creator. You rank the 15 creators you’d most like to meet according to how much you want to meet them. A computerized system will determine who gets into which Meet & Greet.
You have a two-week window (usually the first half of May) to submit your choices.

Tri-State (Secaucus, New Jersey): September
