<P> VidCon Australia will be held August 31 - September 2, 2018, at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre . </P> <P> In February 2018, Viacom (owner of the Viacom Media Networks and film studio Paramount Pictures) announced that they were acquiring VidCon, as part of its efforts to expand its live - events business, and to expand from TV programming to next - generation entertainment platforms . Jim Louderback will remain as the CEO of the convention, and co-founder Hank Green will continue be involved and work closely with the team . Its offices will also remain in Missoula, Montana . Internet reception to this acquisition was mixed, with some noting the irony of Viacom acquiring VidCon a decade after their lawsuit against Google and YouTube for copyright infringement . Hank Green reassured fans that Viacom's acquisition will allow the convention to flourish . </P> <P> VidCon Europe will be held on February 14 - 17, 2019 at the ExCel London . </P> <P> VidCon attendees may purchase one of three types of passes, also called badges or tracks, a system rolled out during the 2015 VidCon . At the lowest price, the Community track allows access to the main floor of the Anaheim Convention Center, several stages, the signing and photo hall, the Expo Hall, and more . The second type is the Creator track, which is geared more toward members of the online video community who either produce content themselves or have an interest in doing so . This pass gives access to the main and second floor of the venue and creator lounges, which feature panels, workshops, and keynotes that focus on the specifics of creating and editing online video . The third and most expensive type is the Industry track, which gives attendees the chance to attend all VidCon events and enjoy the industry lounge . This badge is mainly designed for those in the online video business, with access to keynote conversations, round - table discussions, hands - on training and platform and product demonstrations . Vidcon provided the industry members with a private zone to relax away from the attendees . </P>
