YouCon 3.0 – The Biggest International YouTubing and Content Creation Conference in Sri Lanka came to a successful conclusion!

YouCon 3.0 was an initiative organized by AIESEC in University of Sri Jayewardenepura which
was executed for the third consecutive run, accompanying many renowned YouTubers and
Artists from all over the world to advocate the youth on prospects of youtubing and content
creation.
AIESEC which is the world’s largest youth led organization, engages in giving opportunities to
the youth by facilitating them in cross-cultural internship and volunteering exchanges with the
prime objective of developing young leaders. Being one of the most outstanding Local
Committees in Sri Lanka, AIESEC in University of Sri Jayewardenepura was able to
triumphantly pull off YouCon 3.0 by setting a new benchmark for all other upcoming initiatives.
The International Conference was organized with the aim of creating a knowledge sharing
platform for aspiring local and international YouTubers who wish to discover new arenas in
YouTubing and gain new perspectives to create desirable and quality content on YouTube.
While mutually aligning with SDG 08; Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform, the
conference was held for four consecutive days from 2nd to 5th of December with the
participation of many enthusiastic individuals across the globe.
YouCon delivered 10 insightful sessions which covered all the ins and outs of content creation
for those who dream of climbing up the ladder in YouTubing to become successful content
creators in the future. The topics discussed in the conference included how to kickstart a
YouTube channel to travel vlogging, legal and monetization aspects of YouTubing and personal
branding through YouTube as well.
Looking back from last year’s YouCon 2.0 which was a fully virtual conference this year’s
YouCon 3.0 managed to move out from the fully virtual domain of conferences to be a hybrid
conference which was live streamed via Facebook and YouTube while giving the opportunity for
the delegates to physically attend the sessions on the 5th of December which took place at
Trace Expert City Colombo in a grand scale.The conference was graced with the presence of
famous YouTube personalities including Maniya, Kaali, Kumalinda, Dinuka Wijesinghe, Ananda
Priyadarshana from PCguide.lk, Soome, Manuranga and many more.
The concluding session of YouCon was fired up with incredible musical performances from
Midori Karunarathne, Siyum Sandeep, Dineth Wijesooriya, Shemil Clinson, Hesara Bandara
and Chalana Perera.
Adding to that list of notable personalities, the speakers who appeared throughout the first three
days of the conference included Janeeth Rodrigo, Kamaj Silva, Sajeewa Dissanayake, Tharindu
Vishwanath, Pasindu Jayasinghe from SL Geek, and international YouTubers, Rohan Chaubey
and Priyanka Tiwari from India, TechSathi from Nepal, Dave Farina from The United States and
many more.
The artists who lightened up the YouCon Studio virtual music fest included, Janith Iddamalgoda,
Harshadewa Ariyasinghe and multiple other crowd favourites.

YouCon 3.0 also managed to leap from previous chapters of the YouCon history book and set
records with 35+ AIESEC International Partnerships and delegates from more than 45 countries
covering all 5 continents. Also the conference was broadcasted on exceeding 70 local and
international Facebook pages with the biggest delegate registrations for the 2021 AIESEC
calendar year.
The event would have not turned out to be in a grand scale if not for the benevolent partners of
YouCon 3.0, Singer Sri Lanka as the Strategic Partner, Closeup as the Diamond Partner, Bizmo
and Tuti as the Gold Partner, Nanaska and CIMA Sri Lanka as Silver Partners, Click to Mart as
the Youth Partner, Imperial College and Eduko Pathways as Deluxe Partners followed by
generous In-Kind, health care, banner, food and gift partners. Furthermore, ShoutOUT labs
provided their collaboration throughout the conference as the SMS Gateway Partner and the
event was Live Streamed with the support of Eclipse Motion, the Livestreaming Partner of
YouCon 3.0.
YouCon is an initiative that has the power to make a huge impact on the Youth and that
influence was clearly visible through the feedback from the delegates and how enthusiastic they
were to actively participate with the conference. The number of delegates of the event is
remarkable as it represents one of the great success stories that AIESEC in Sri Lanka has ever
achieved in terms of the reach for a worldwide audience.
Looking at the massive impact it has created, without a doubt we can say that, YouCon 3.0 has
set an international benchmark which can only be shaken by its next successive phase, YouCon
4.0! Without a doubt, next chapters of YouCon will also continue to inspire and uplift youth to be
aspiring content creators one day. AIESEC in USJ was able to set a benchmark for all events in
AIESEC Sri Lanka by executing The Dream YouCon that we all have been waiting for by
proving the statement, “if you can dream it, you can achieve it”.
Await the next chapters of YouCon to awaken the YouTuber in you!
