When Is the Next VidCon?

VidCon 2021 was cancelled by organizers. At the same time the cancellation was announced, they also announced the dates for VidCon 2022: June 22 - 25, 2022. It will be held in Anaheim, California.

The event will likely be a hybrid of 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 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.
