A look at what's new, notable, and can't-miss at this year's convention.
Here's what's coming to VidCon 2026.
VidCon is the leading global event for content creators, influencers, digital media brands, and fans. The convention features creator panels, live entertainment, networking opportunities, meet-and-greets, and industry discussions focused on the future of online video, social media, and the creator economy. More than 16 years after its debut, VidCon continues to shape the digital content industry and reflects the rise of content creation as a mainstream global business.
VidCon is back again this year in Anaheim, with plenty of new surprises in store for fans and content creators alike.The event is set to take place from Thursday, June 25, to Saturday, June 27, and includes a full schedule of nonstop meet-and-greets, mentorship sessions, informative talks, and interactive events for attendees.
Last year's VidCon fell on YouTube's 20th anniversary, so the event honored early YouTube legends like Hank Green, Rhett & Link, Grace Helbig, Tyler Oakley, Smosh co-founders Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, and more. The YouTube pioneers were celebrated and awarded at VidCon’s first annual Hall of Fame ceremony.
