What to do Before VidCon

Here are some great tips on things to prepare and do before arriving to VidCon!


1. Download the VidCon app! It lets you schedule your whole day out, with all the different panels on there! There is also a map, which is always helpful.

2. Make sure to enter the meet and greet lottery! You don't want to miss out on meeting your favorite creators! You'll get an email once it starts, which is usually about a month before the convention.

3. Know which panels you want to go to! Don't just go without knowing which panels are going on. Have at least a slight idea of which panels you want to see. Having the VidCon app really helps planning that out.

4. Make sure your group agrees on panels. You don't want to be the only one with a plan and all your friends aren't quite interested in what you want to see. Then everyone splits up and it's a complete mess. Make sure to keep in contact with your friends when making a plan. I personally used Google Sheets and shared it with my friends so we could all add what we wanted.



5. Finally, don't procrastinate! For any of this! Don't wait till the last night to download the app, and make your plans of what panels you want to see. And definitely don't wait until the last day to pack. You may forget important things, like your phone charger! You don't want to arrive to your hotel after a long flight with a dead phone only to find that you have no way to charge it! So don't wait until the last minute! This also applies to buying tickets. You know the saying the early bird gets the worm? Well VidCon believes in that saying, so the earlier you get your tickets, the cheaper they will be!


That's all for now. So long conventioners!~
