VidCon‘s flagship event for digital creators and their fans is leaving its Anaheim home after 16 years in Southern California.

LIONS, the company that produces the Cannes Lions marketing festival, announced that it is merging VidCon with its creator-focused events in North America to create VidCon x LIONS Creators. Both LIONS and VidCon are owned by U.K.-based Informa PLC, an international events, digital services and academic research firm.
