Nikolas Schriefer, co-founder of live events crowdsourcing platform Stagelink, will discuss how to cash in on new media through non-traditional projects, and the popular creators HelloRasmus of Denmark and Canadian travel vlogger Cailin O’Neil will discuss how brands can best make use of Snapchat.

VidCon Europe will also host panels tackling the growth of Facebook

video as well as the emergence of virtual reality. The Lad Bible founder and CEO Solly Solomou and MetDaan co-founder and CEO Illirian Krasniq will discuss how they built two of the world’s biggest Facebook video channels, while Andrew Hawken of Mesmerise and Jan-Phillip Mohr of Hashplay will share how to tell great stories in VR.

Finally, Nick Hayward, CEO of digital studio The Narrative, will lead a conversation about how digital and traditional media can work together in the future, featuring Conde Nast Britain head Will Harris and Studio71 managing director Ronald Horstman.

“These are just a few of the more than 50 in-depth panels, keynotes, master classes, and more coming to VidCon Europe’s Industry Track in April,” said editorial director Jim Louderback in a statement.
