VidCon is the world's premier event celebrating digital content creation where creators, fans, and industry leaders converge to shape the future of digital entertainment. Our flagship Anaheim event in 2025 attracted 55,000 attendees, 200 Featured Creators, and 150 brand exhibitors, cementing our position as the epicenter of digital culture.
