Of course it is too early to give you an agenda, but we can tell you the sorts of things we'll have at VidCon 2013.

The Mainstage

Throughout the conference, we will be showcasing some of the amazing people who have become successful through online video. Mainstage acts usually take the form of short performances or talks. The mainstage is fast-paced and exciting. It’s the protein in the VidCon sandwich.

Expo Hall

The content of the expo hall is mostly decided by our exhibitors, but it’s safe to assume that there will be activities in here ranging from bouncy castles to visual effects workshops. The expo hall will also house the majority of our signings and merch sales.

Break Outs

While the Mainstage is for all audiences, break outs are geared more specifically. Want to know how to capture video games on your computer? Curious what the future of educational video is? Always wondered what makes a particular project or show come together? There will be break outs for those and MANY other things.

Meet-Ups

Meet-ups are a kinda strange beast…it means something different to every creator. To some people, it’s an opportunity for a long-form performance, while others just want to hug every person they can get their hands on. We leave that up to the creators, but meet-ups are your opportunity for a more personal encounter.

Signings

Speaking of more-personal encounters…many meet-ups traditionally become signings. We’ve decided to separate signings out into a separate event in 2013, and most of them will be taking place down in the expo hall. Arrive early because we do have to limit lines!

Concerts

About what it sounds like. The evenings at VidCon tend to wind up instead of wind down. The concerts generally start with acoustic acts and then ramp up into more high-energy favorites.

Dance Party

After the bands have left the stage, the stout of heart often stick around into the wee hours for our annual evening dance parties. . . might want to wear comfortable shoes.

Open Mic

We’re always pleased to be able to showcase talent that is maybe a little less well known. We’re upgrading open mic once again this year with more space, more time, and more exciting opportunities.

More

Yes, there’s more. From breaking world records, to secret panels, to classroom style learning opportunities, VidCon always has a few tricks up its sleeve.
