Who Should Attend VidCon Anaheim 2026 With a Pro Pass?
Creator Economy Start-Ups
Get in the room with the platforms, other founders, and operators shaping the creator economy. Test your product with real buyers, learn what your customers want, and spot distribution or GTM partners you won’t find online. Leave VidCon with warm intros, and a pipeline of potential clients.
Creator Operators
If you run the business side of a creator’s brand, VidCon is your cheat code. Compare monetization models, streamline ops (from storefronts to subscriptions), and meet potential new vendors. Walk away with playbooks you can implement on Monday.
Media & Brand Agencies
Bring briefs, leave with deals. Discover emerging talent, platform shifts, and measurement frameworks that prove impact beyond vanity metrics. Build relationships, learn about new tools, and connect with creators.
AI & Tech Companies
Showcase what your product unlocks for creators, publishers, and advertisers and validate it live with the people who’ll use it.

Influencer Partnerships
Whether you’re building a partner network or scaling ambassadors, this is where you source talent, align incentives, and standardize measurement. Compare rates, briefs, and usage terms across categories, then leave with contracted tests and a roadmap for always-on creator campaigns.
What the Creator Economy Says
“VidCon is like summer camp for the most important voices in the creator economy. It's digital media grad school packed into 4 days of fun!”
Phil Ranta
CEO, Stealth Talent
“VidCon continues to be an essential gathering for the global creator economy. At Gushcloud, we had a fantastic experience— we connected with the right talent, explored meaningful collaborations, and immersed ourselves in a community that truly values creators, fans, and the entire ecosystem. It's clear that VidCon genuinely cares about building a future where creators thrive.”
Althea Lim
Group CEO, Gushcloud
“VidCon isn't just for fans, it's for creators who have business interests, who want to connect with industry peers and build deeper relationships with partners and brands.”
Chris Do
Founder & CEO, The Futur
“VidCon is my favorite industry conference of the year! The programming is consistently insightful and relevant, and the networking opportunities are unmatched — it's where the creator economy truly comes to life.”
James Creech
Co-founder, Measure Studio
“Having attended every VidCon since Year 1, I can confidently say that the show is as critical today as it was at the dawn of the Creator Economy. There is no gathering that has successfully brought together incredible creators – both established and emerging – with many of the industry's most innovative and impactful thought leaders, many of the world's top platforms and brands, alongside tens of thousands of passionate fans. The Creator Economy only works at full capacity when all of these groups are on the same page, and VidCon is a key moment for that alignment to take root.”
Brent Weinstein
Partner, CAA
“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
