"VidCon has always been the premier event celebrating all aspects of the creator economy," says Sarah Tortoreti, Vice President of VidCon. "By introducing a way to honor these iconic creators in our new ‘VidCon Hall of Fame,’ we are recognizing their contribution to the evolution of digital culture and their instrumental impact on pop culture and fandom."
