VidCon 2017

Image
Website: http://vidcon.com/ When: June 20 - 23, 2017 Where: Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California General observation: This Vidcon seems to be more organized and also just in Anaheim Convention Center and Arena. Last year, I had talks that I have to go to Sheraton (and not sure but possibly Marriott) and so seems like now, it is prolly more contained. Tips: Download the app.   They have tons of panels and talks so you might want to check and do a bit of research which is which.  You can also check the talks that your favorite star is doing. You can also the most liked - e.g. Getting Slimed at the Nickelodeon Booth READ your EMAILS.  They will send out emails like meet and greet of stars or the YouTube Onstage concert. If you did not read nor sign up for the lottery, you LOSE the chance of winning. There was YouTube OnStage with all your YT Stars + Jason Derulo There is also some YT partner reception where you get to meet & greet with CREATORs Get a ho

The Menu The Restaurant The Toilet I just took a picture 'cuz it looks interesting with all the "chicken" pictures and a more festive lighting.
