California’s Anaheim Convention Center has once again hosted VidCon, the global convention on digital content and media technology.
With millions of people creating content these days, influencers around the world are attending the 2025 VidCon expo (which is already in the planning phase) to collaborate with other content creators and form connections with technological innovators.
If your content creation startup is starting to gain followers, this is a great place to accelerate your exposure! This should be enough of a reason to keep your eyes on what’s being offered at VidCon this year, but if not, here are a few more reasons.
VidCon Offers Various Technology Advancements and Ideas for Content Creation
If your video content creation startup is hitting the growth mark, then you’ll probably want to know about the best YouTube equipment to use to bring the quality level of your videos up a notch. That’s one of the main benefits of attending VidCon since video technology plays a huge part in the convention.
From camera & lighting to sophisticated video software & editing, there’s an ever-changing selection of video technology that will keep you at the forefront of your content. Learn what makes a good video and also find out what audiences are responding to. Since the industry keeps evolving, and audiences are hungrier than ever for unique content, this is an element you can gain from by visiting (or at least keeping your eye on) VidCon 2025.
VidCon Gives You the Opportunity to Expand Your Fanbase
2023 was the first year since the Covid-19 pandemic when VidCon opened up again. The one that took place in 2024 was a continuation of all that took place last year, with even more opportunities to expose new brands to the public. Next year, there’ll be thousands of people at VidCon who follow their favorite YouTube and TikTok personalities, and these viewers are ripe pickings for expanding your own fanbase.
The more you participate in various activities and discussions within the event, the more exposure you’ll receive from those who are already following their favorite content creators. Ask yourself an important question: as a creator, what are you offering that’s unique to everyone else? Keep this in mind as you collaborate with other content creators, form connections with like-minded people, and engage with the convention’s audience.
You Get to Have a Say in the Future of Digital Content
If you’re a creator, you can attend VidCon under that title and take part in discussions about where the industry is headed and how it can be improved. Public conferences are held at VidCon, and audience members are always welcome to attend them. This gives influencers a platform to voice their ideas, concerns, and projections for the future of digital media. It’s a great way to introduce yourself to those who may not know about your unique video offerings yet.
Successful Content Creators Will Be There to Inspire Your Venture
One of the biggest reasons YouTubers attend VidCon is the exposure it gives them to already successful influencers. These individuals boast followers in the millions, meaning there’s always something you, as a startup creator, can learn from them. Whether you’re in the gaming side of the industry, lifestyle & fashion, news, or simply videos that make people laugh, there’s a huge benefit to potentially meeting those who have gone before you.
Things to Know Before You Attend VidCon 2025
In terms of eligibility and rules, take note of the following before you consider attending VidCon.
- If you have more than 100,000 subscribers on TikTok or YouTube, you can attend the event as a creator. This means you need to buy a different ticket from the ones offered to the public. Creators will be put up in a hotel as a complimentary addition to the event.
- Anyone under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by an adult of 18 years or older.
- Dressing up is accepted at VidCon, but any costumes that involve fake weapons will not be allowed for safety reasons.
- VidCon is predominantly for video creators, so other social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook will not be focused upon at the event.
