VLOG 000 - VidCon
Travel Video
In my 0th Vlog post, I chronicle my afternoon trip down to Anaheim for VidCon 2015. If you aren’t in the know, VidCon is…
VidCon is a multi-genre online video conference, held annually in Southern California since 2010. Originally conceived by Hank and John Green of the “VlogBrothers” YouTube channel, the convention is the largest of its kind in the world, gathering thousands of online video viewers, creators, and industry representatives worldwide. One of the creators, Hank Green, described it as “a convention, and a conference, and a celebration, and a discussion”.
It’s also crazy as creators, online video industry folk, and the fans converge on one location for four days. I was only there for a few hours and that was plenty of crazy for me.

It was a talk about bringing technology and entertainment together held in Beverly Hills and hosted by a coding bootcamp company. Two of the people on the panel were from a different bootcamp company, and then there was me, an actual technologist working in entertainment.
