Organised by AIESEC in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, the event took place from 2-5 July and included a series of webinars and virtual concerts designed to bring together youth and professional YouTubers to share ideas and exchange knowledge. The conference aims to create a knowledge-sharing platform for aspiring local and international YouTubers who are looking to discover new arenas in YouTubing and give them a platform to share insight and gain perspective to create effective and desirable content for YouTube. YouCon 2.0 – International Youtubing and Content Creation Conference is mutually aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Sustainable Development Knowledge platform. The conference featured local and international speakers who focused on many valuable topics related to YouTubing and content creation, covering all aspects from the basics of starting a YouTube channel to enriching and enhancing content as a seasoned YouTube creator.
