“VidCon was LUCRATIVE for my business: $300,000+ in closed consulting revenue, $20,000 in event hosting revenue, and 23 client leads for follow-up. I’ll be adding 128 new emails – the majority of which are million-scale creators to my newsletter. I also learned quite a bit of interesting intel over coffees, cocktails, and late night conversations….. a fantastic ROI from a single conference”
Avi Gandhi,
Founder, Creator Logic
“VidCon is my favorite conference of the year. It’s a must-attend for anyone working in digital media or the creator economy!”

“VidCon has really been an essential resource as I’ve transitioned my career from more traditional media into the creator economy. Not only are the panels and speakers a tremendous source of insight, but the vibrant industry community that comes together around the event really is a constantly growing and giving resource. I’ve met some of my closest industry friends and colleagues at VidCon and I keep coming back to continue to build on that.”
Zach Miller,
President, Bucketsquad
“The VidCon Industry Track was and continues to be instrumental in helping me build my agency Little Monster Media Co. into a seven-figure business. The connections, community, and learnings my team and I garner at VidCon are invaluable.”
Matt Gielen,
CEO, Electric Monster
Twenty years ago YouTube started as a scrappy experiment and has since revolutionized how we create, connect, discover, and consume.. everything. Today’s “creator economy” is a powerful, ever-evolving ecosystem — one that’s worth over $250 billion and is reshaping industries, cultures, and lives on a global scale.
Two decades into the story of creators, there are still more questions than definitive answers. How do creators and industry leaders build for sustainable success? Which innovators are driving the next wave of growth and why? How will the seismic shifts driven by AI and other disruptive technologies redefine this already dynamic space? And most importantly, where do we go from here?
VidCon 2025’s Industry Track is your roadmap to these answers. For the first time, the program will be structured as a curriculum — a comprehensive journey answering pivotal questions about how creators and industry stakeholders alike can navigate what’s next.
