VidCon 2013: See You in Two Weeks!
One of our favorite times of the year is when we all get together at VidCon. It’s been so exciting to see VidCon expand to over 10,000 attendees in just three years, including thousands of creators from emerging talent to superstars, media companies to advertising agencies.
Oh, and as always, we’ll have a few tricks up our sleeve, so make sure to follow our @YTCreators and +YouTubeCreators social channels, where we’ll be broadcasting live from VidCon, and you can feel like part of the action even if you’re not there.
You can find out what we’re up to below. And, don’t forget! There are a few ways that you can take advantage of what we’ll be doing at VidCon now, so be sure to sign up as seats will go quickly.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, hearing from you, learning with you (and of course having fun alongside you!) at VidCon this year. Anaheim, here we come!
