This event is held annually to bring together those who create video content with the fans who love them.

When Is VidCon 2021?

This year's U.S. event will be in Anaheim, CA. Organizers haven't yet set a specific date beyond "summer 2021," so sometime between June and August seems obvious.

The event will likely be a hybrid of both in-person and online activities, with live streams of fan-focused sessions and on-demand access to various keynotes, workshops, and discussion panels.

VidCon also holds in-person and other events worldwide, with 2021 events planned in Abu Dhabi, Australia, London, Mexico City, and Singapore.

VidCon Now is a weekly online series that offers virtual concerts and performances, panel discussions, online meet and greets, and other types of interactive events. It was created in response to the cancellation of the 2020 in-person event.

How to Register and Attend VidCon

As soon as the date is finalized, VidCon will provide a digital ticket purchasing option for anyone who wants to attend.

Are There Big Announcements at the Event?

There aren't usually any major product or software announcements at VidCon. Instead, it's focused on helping video creators get started or expand and connect them to those in the industry who can help them get bigger and better at what they do.

It's also a key place for fans to connect with video creators who populate social media apps like YouTube and TikTok.

Who will be there?

No official confirmations have been made yet.
