Influencer event network Tubecon has partnered up with the French media house La Dépêche to organize an arena-sized convention event in Toulouse for French YouTubers and other social media influencers. The community driven fan event is co-created together with the local and national social media stars. Tubecon France welcomes all social media creators to be part of the event program with a goal to build the biggest and most inspiring annual online influencer fan event and industry gathering in France.
“We are excited to start our collaboration with Tubecon. The decision to host Tubecon in Toulouse is in line with our strategy to engage and co-create with the new online driven generations”, says Jean-Nicolas Baylet, the Managing Director of Groupe La Dépêche. “At the same time, Tubecon creates a new asset to our partners interested to collaborate with the online influencers, the new ‘rock stars´ in youth culture. The partnership between La Dépêche and Tubecon aims to create the leading online influencer fan event in France and it will be a new addition to the strategic diversification at La Dépêche.”
Since 2014, Tubecon events have been organised 23 times in four countries. Tubecon is extending with a goal to host events in 10 different markets by the end of 2019. The extension will strengthen Tubecon’s position as the only European event organiser running international online influencer event network. Tubecon has recently announced new event dates in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Switzerland. Other markets with events in preparations include Romania, Latvia and Austria.
“Tubecon is the only consumer event with a clear vision to create a Pan-European online influencer fan event network. Our first events in Germany and France are important milestones on our way to become the leading European event network celebrating the new generation content creation and the community driven fandom”, says Tubecon CEO Jaakko Kievari.
Tubecon France will be organised in Zénith Toulouse Métropole arena on September 8-9, 2019.
