Content creation can porno 14be a solitary job. Even though it’s centered around community, much of that interaction happens online. In 2009, brothers John and Hank Green, the creators behind the popular Vlogbrothers YouTube channel, set out to change that.

"A couple of months ago, [my brother] John and I decided that we were really interested in the possibility of getting a real-life online video conference happening, in order to get all of the best online video creators together in one place," Hank Green said at the time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Online video is a really huge deal now — we have people on YouTube that have a bigger audience than Oprah or Anderson Cooper."

And with that, the first VidCon was born.

What Is VidCon?

Launched in 2010, VidCon became the first major convention for online video creators and their fans. It brought together influencers, industry professionals, and audiences for panels, performances, meet-and-greets, and behind-the-scenes conversations about the future of digital media.

Now, 15 years later, VidCon is still going strong — a reflection of how online content creation has evolved from a niche interest into a global industry.

When is VidCon 2025?

This year's VidCon will take place June 19-21 in Anaheim, California. And Mashable will be on the ground at the Anaheim Convention Center, talking to your favorite creators and covering all the latest trends.

What are the three tracks at VidCon?

This year, there are three tracks at VidCon: Community, Creator, and Industry.

The community track is for fans and mostly consists of meet-and-greets, Q&As, and creator panels. It's the least expensive track, with single-day tickets starting at $96 and multi-day tickets starting at $175.

The creator track is, well, for creators. You get access to the community track offerings, along with workshops, panels, lounges, mentorship panels, and more. It's the second most expensive track, with multi-day tickets starting at $268.

Finally, the most expensive track is the industry track. It's billed for "creator economy leaders" and includes so, so many networking opportunities. Multi-day tickets for this track start at $1,130.

Which creators will be at VidCon?

At VidCon, you'll see featured creators, Hall of Fame inductees, and creators who simply bought a ticket to attend. As it coincides with YouTube's 20th anniversary, expect to see some legendary names on the creator lineup.

This is the inaugural VidCon Hall of Fame, and the creators being honored include Rhett & Link, Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, Tyler Oakley, Grace Helbig, Joey Graceffa, Rosanna Pansino, and Hank Green.
