VidCon starts today and I’m on my way to Anaheim!
I've been going to VidCon since 2014 when I was pregnant with our daughter and apparently Jimmy Fallon had a huge presence (see photo below). I missed 2017 when I was in labor with our son. This year's VidCon will also be my 3rd time attending with Spotter.
Every year I attend I look around and marvel at how VidCon brings to life the physical manifestation of the creator economy's extraordinary fandom and digital culture.
So, what am I excited about this year?
⭐ Meeting up with so many creators we proudly support at Spotter, including 16 creator and advisor partners who are slated to speak:
[Thursday] Colin and Samir, Hayden Hillier-Smith, Peter Hollens 🟣, Zach Miller of BucketSquad, The Try Guys, Aphmau, Miss Darcei, Hafu Go
[Friday] Leah Ashe, MeganPlays, Like Nastya, Kinigra Deon, Steven He, Cody Ko
[Saturday] Jordan Matter (along with Salish & Hudson), ChadChad, TD Bricks
🤖 Rooting for Spotter’s very own Paul Bakaus who will be speaking this Friday about how we are building creative AI tools that empower creators.
💡 Hot off the press today, Spotter will be the title sponsor at VidSummit on Sep 3-5 in Dallas! We'll be partnering with the VidSummit team and Colin and Samir to specially curate some of this year’s programs and activities, with an added lens on creator software, ideation, and best practices to fuel channel growth. Ahead of VidSummit, we're launching an online community TODAY designed for ideation and experimentation so creators can connect, collaborate, and grow together. More details to follow. I look forward to talking about these developments in my conversations this week.
🤝 Reuniting with “my people": former colleagues and creators I previously worked with across IGN Entertainment, YouTube, and Meta and many other incredible people in the creator economy I’ve had the privilege of getting to know in the past decade.
💕 Bringing my kids for the first time ever so they can experience the magic. If you’re around Saturday, you may see me with them in tow.
Here we go! 🚀 HMU if you will be at VidCon and want to connect.
