VidCon Anaheim 2025 was an all-out celebration of the online world and everyone who makes it iconic. Over 55,000 fans, creators, and industry leaders took over the Anaheim Convention Center for three packed days of creator chaos, cultural moments, and internet magic.
The Community Track buzzed with energy as fans met their internet heroes — from viral stars like Aphmau and jmancurly to cosplay royalty and gaming icons. Meet & greets, photo ops, and main stage performances created once-in-a-lifetime moments for every fandom.
The Creator Track gave aspiring influencers and emerging talent access to exclusive panels, hands-on workshops, and expert mentorship. From learning how to pitch brands to optimizing content strategies, creators left with serious tools for growth — and some pretty epic new friends.
Meanwhile, the Industry Track was the hub for dealmaking and future-building. Panels featured leaders from platforms, brands, and agencies covering everything from Gen Alpha behavior to the evolution of short-form content. Executives networked over coffee, content trends, and cocktails.

Hall of Fame
And of course, the Hall of Fame brought the internet to its knees — uniting YouTube legends like Hank Green, Grace Helbig, Joey Graceffa, Tyler Oakley, Rhett & Link, Anthony Padilla, Ian Hecox, and Rosanna Pansino for the inaugural Hall of Fame.
YouTube Celebrates 20 Years!
YouTube turned 20 — and VidCon threw the ultimate birthday bash. From surprise pop-ups in the Festival to limited-edition giveaways and photo ops, the celebration brought YouTube’s legacy to life all weekend long. The party peaked with Friday’s YouTube Keynote featuring VP of Creator Products Amjad Hanif, Head of Culture & Trends Kevin Allocca, and creators Safiya Nygaard and Alan Chikin Chow. Creator and Industry Track attendees got an exclusive look at what’s next from the platform that helped build it all. Together, they reflected on YouTube’s legacy, revealed new tools for the future, and honored the moments that shaped a generation of creators.
You Met Your Faves — and Made Core Memories
From emotional hugs to spontaneous dance-offs, meet & greets at VidCon 2025 delivered unforgettable moments. Fans who secured their slots through Leap got face time with icons like Aphmau, KREW, Louie Castro, and jmancurly — and walked away with selfies, signatures, and stories to tell.
Viewss.Com Pickleball Court
Yes, Featured Creators played pickleball — and it was everything. The Viewss Pickleball Court served up nonstop fun all weekend long. Creators, industry pros, and fans all grabbed paddles and hit the court for spontaneous matches, friendly rivalries, and surprise showdowns. Whether you were playing or just watching the chaos unfold, Dink + Smash 2025 turned pickleball into a full-on VidCon experience — competitive, chaotic, and totally unforgettable.
Out of the Box Took Over the Expo Floor
VidCon’s most mysterious moment became its most iconic. The massive Out of the Box installation kept fans guessing as creators like Merrick Hanna, Jesus Nalgas, and Hannahxxrose emerged from within — bringing their viral unboxing antics to life IRL. When that countdown hit zero, you never knew what was coming… but it was always worth the wait.
