The YouTube FanFest is back in the Philippines for another year and it is delightfully set to go virtual for the first time. Presented by Globe Telecom and Jack n' Jill's Piattos and featuring over 150 creators and artists from across the region plus special appearances from global YouTube stars, the virtual YouTube FanFest celebrates the creative ingenuity of the creator and artist community in Asia-Pacific that has been providing entertainment, inspiration and moments of joy to netizens during this unprecedented time.
Streaming live on YouTube FanFest's official YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/fanfest) on October 11, 2020 starting at 4 pm (Philippine standard time), top global YouTube stars such as Alex Wassabi, Matt Steffanina, Merrell Twins and Mike Chen will join a stellar lineup of local YouTube sensations in the Philippines including Ranz Kyle, Niana Guerrero, Natalia Guerrero, mimiyuuuh, Ben&Ben, FumiShun Base, AC Bonifacio and more for special performances, creator collaborations and more. Some of the creators from the Philippines will sport virtual meet and greet sessions leading to the virtual fanfest.

To showcase and celebrate the diversity of online talent in Asia-Pacific, there will be dedicated country spotlight segments featuring homegrown creators and hosted in local languages. Another integral part of the YouTube FanFest experience is the annual Creator Camp which has always been providing aspiring online sensations a great opportunity to engage with creators and a sense of community, inspiration and knowledge on how they can succeed on YouTube. For this year's edition, YouTube will host a series of virtual Creator Camps for rising creators to inspire, educate and empower the next generation of YouTube stars by sharing ways to elevate the quality of video and strengthen content strategy.

"YouTube FanFest has become an annual celebration of our YouTube communities across APAC (Asia-Pacific). While we couldn't host physical shows this year, we hope this special edition YouTube FanFest will create moments of joy, spread positivity and bring about a sense of unity that we all need during this time. We're excited to see international creators and homegrown talent from across APAC shine on this virtual stage," said YouTube APAC Managing Director Gautam Anand.
