I woke up this morning knowing it was day 1 of the YouTube convention, VidINC. Today was just a day dedicated to workshops, but they were covering topics that I was really interested in. Big YouTubers and YouTube Channel Network companies were talking about their tips and tricks about making it through YouTube.
I quickly got dressed, and ran out the door, hoping that when I arrived, tickets would be cheaper at the door than they were online. I jumped on the train, feeling anxious, I was running late and I really didn't expect anything of the journey, but I thought I'd try my luck anyways.
I made it to the front of the Exhibition Centre at 10:05am (the workshop started at 10:00am), I follow some people around the building who also looked a little lost. I start talking to this guy, I didn't catch his name, but we decided to look for the main entrance to the event together. He was hoping to buy his ticket at the door too.
This guy was amazing, he works for YouTube and he knew some people presenting. He was interested in what I wanted to do with YouTube and was a lovely man.
We rock up at the front desk and ask if we can get 2 tickets, are they any cheaper, etc etc (The tickets were pretty expensive). We could buy tickets at the door, but we couldn't get them for cheaper. I was pretty upset and about to go home when the man I was with offered to pay for my ticket.
I was stoked. Like, gob smacked. So happy, I was speechless. I didn't know how to thank him.
We went into the workshop, half an hour late, but for a 9 hour day, we had heaps of time and different topics to learn from ahead of us.
The man started talking to a woman (who also worked for YouTube), and left at around 12pm. I didn't see him again after that. I feel bad I didn't get his name, or buy him lunch or something.
I really can't thank him enough. I had a wonderful day, met some really cool people and my head exploded with all the things I learnt about. I want this man to know I had a great day and really truly appreciate the kindness and generosity you showed today. <3
Thank you, kind man! I hope to see you tomorrow at the VidINC main event!
