Switcher Studio’s VidCon 2018 Guide for Video Creators and Brands

VidCon is arguably the world’s largest conference for online video. Unlike the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference, which is focused on professional video, VidCon is the Comi-Con of the video world, featuring overnight YouTube sensations, as well as industry experts.

But not just for fans, VidCon has two separate program tracks focused on content creators and industry professionals.
