Definitely looks worth it! Making all the connections probably the best part! Didn't realize there was so many events you could participate in.

[@SantosChronicles]

It was great. Not every day you can talk to people about nerdy youtube stats and they actually understand and are.

[@Beingbethunes]

Dude! You won a sling bag! Lucky! Great video Carl, it was a great event and can’t wait to get back next year!

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for checking it out and also for being in it. I already told my wife I'll be there next year for sure. Hopefully I see you guys again there!

[@JessicaFranco1]

Too cool!! This looks like a blast 🎉

[@SantosChronicles]

I have always wanted to go and it did not disappoint. My plan is to go every year now!

[@JessicaFranco1]

@@SantosChronicles I did not even know it was a thing until I saw your video. I am definitely looking into going for future years!

[@OurNationalAdventure]

Looks like such a fun event...esp the top floor!!! 😅😅😅 what a fun networking experience...AI scares ME! Sometimes I have to rethink how much I video and who in our family is getting face time without completely changing our content. You had some exciting networking opportunites!

[@SantosChronicles]

I have been want to go for the past 5 years, and I'm so glad I went. If you can't tell, I'm people person. And no way I would have been able to talk to most of this people on my own. I'll be going next year again for sure.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Great Summit Event Carl. Would have been a great educational experience and meeting like minded people. Glad to hear that it was worth it. Thank you for taking us along. 🙏🏼🤠👍🏼

[@SantosChronicles]

What I love about it is that anyone I talk to, i can talk about KZbin shop talk. In the real world, people would look as weird talking about retention, CPM, mediakit, etc.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Looks like a fun informative event 👍 AI is going to be a problem 🤪 but AI can’t do unique content so we’re good 👍

[@SantosChronicles]

I really hope so. Weird & Wacky and Tractors need us.

[@HangWithTheBangs]

Carl! Great video, I love the intro and full in depth info! I missed seeing that giant Stanley! That was fun! So glad we got to meet you and do dinner, you are awesome!

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much! It was so fun to grab Tacos with you guys while at VidSummit! I'll be back next year so hopefully I'll be able to see you guys again.

[@HangWithTheBangs]

@@SantosChronicles wahoo! good us too! we got our tickets!

[@DestinationEarth]

Glad they decided to let you into the venue! Go to learn about making videos, walk about being the next start of the Chicago Bulls! I hope you get a chance to work with them again in the future!

[@SantosChronicles]

I would have been so sad paying all that money and not getting in. It was fun to learn so much. But my favorite part is easily meeting all the different people. That would be so cool to be able to work with the Chicago Bulls.

[@PogiboyProductions]

Awesome! Good to know what to expect from VidSummit! It's most definitely the connections you make from here that make it all worth it!! Plus free shirts lol..

[@SantosChronicles]

You would love it man. Maybe next year I'll see you there!

[@AlphaTraveler1]

That is so cool. I remember wanting to go before the bull pandemic, it just never came back up. Very cool. LIKE 20👍👍👍

[@SantosChronicles]

If you ever go, let me know. I'll be going back again next year.

[@bradandamy]

Loved this! This was the best place for you, Carl - I'm sure you made a great impression on everyone you met. You are hands down the most consistent content creator there is!👍🏼

[@SantosChronicles]

I told Melissa I will be going again next year - it was fun to be around all these people with the same passion. Thank you for the kind words, I just love editing - just like you.

[@RobbZipp]

When you talked about different ways to get to the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas (not Dallas), you failed to mention the DART train that you even saw behind you! You can get a day pass for $3 and it takes you all over! Even the airport and downtown Dallas.

[@SantosChronicles]

Great tip, I had to idea. It's kind of like how Medieval Times is here in Shaumburg but call it Medieval Times Chicago. That's why I labeled it Irving Texas right in the beginning of the video.

[@RobbZipp]

@@SantosChronicles I went to Medieval Times there with a gf of the time back at the end of 2019. Fun place.

[@LifeWithTheGlovers]

Very informative, looks like the time was enjoyed. 5th in line 😱 yes the early bird gets the worm. No Mr beast 😢 looks like you met a lot of people and enjoyed the trip!! Nice vid! Happy Monday!! -Rufus

[@SantosChronicles]

I love being early and much easier when it's just me. Would have been cool to see Mr. Beast, but he was filming his new Amazon Prime show. Everyone was so nice and I can't wait to go back next year.

[@janisparr8592]

Lots of info overload!! It could make you feel pretty inadequate at times. And it’s ONLY 1 MILE, Carl! You know us - “JUST WALK IT!” 😂

[@RobbZipp]

It’s not really a walkable area.

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, it's not walk about as Witchita. So many lane of traffic and I'm not even sure if there is a side walk in some areas. But may be next year, I'll pay extra and just go to the Westin and I can cross the street! I'm not tough like you and Ron 😂

[@janisparr8592]

@@SantosChronicles seems like the convenience plus the networking opportunities could make the extra cost justifiable!

[@DanRaines]

Very cool! It is fun reliving the experience through your video.

[@SantosChronicles]

Thanks for watching. Figured for anyone that is thinking of going, this would help them see what to expect. I'll be back next year. How about you?

[@DanRaines]

@@SantosChronicles yeah I will be back. Sort of my thing now I guess. Lol Glad you will be there.

[@FLACKFAM]

You are such a people person! Thanks for all the tips! Cool to see how this conference goes, it seems super helpful with great opportunities!

[@SantosChronicles]

The more people I talk with, the higher my energy level gets me. So this was totally up my alley. Learned alot but made some amazing friends.

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Looks like you had a great time, Carl 😁Jenn

[@SantosChronicles]

It was so much fun. I learned a lot. But meeting all those fun people was my favorite part. For sure I'll be going again next year.

[@DMSAdventures]

Loved that Architectural Concrete Elevator Core there in the building at the beginning! That's the kind of formwork I design sometimes! Ya talk about being in your element! I don't think I would get as much out of the networking aspect bc I'm not near as socially outgoing! If the RMSiblings came with me we'd probably draw some attention... but I think they'd be bored out of their minds! 🙂 I hope something cool happens with that Chicago guy! Nice job of chunking 3 days into a nice length! WOW 16 minutes! Thats gotta be one of your longest. I didn't really notice though, it moved quickly!

[@SantosChronicles]

The building is beautiful and at night it even lights up. 16 minute video is going to be very rare, took a little of my soul editing. It was fun but I generally prefer 6-9 min videos. But this one was a walk through of the whole event so I thought it made sense making it one video. And each day was like 12 hour days. Glad it didn't feel slow, that was what I was worried about.

[@OberonDeMonet]

I plan on flying over from the UK for the next one. I LOVE this video - it's really helpful for someone who's never been to plan the trip!

[@SantosChronicles]

You will just absolutely love it. I had so much when I went and wanted to make sure others knew what to expect. I knew no one when I went and by the time I left I had made so many new friends. Make sure to say hello, I'll be there next year also.

[@trvlnthru]

I watch Nick Nimmin and Roberto Blake too. Learned a lot from them. I definitely want to go check out VidSummit some day. Maybe next year. But thanks for sharing your experiences there with us so we can see what it is like to attend!

[@SantosChronicles]

I know a lot of creators want to come but weren’t sure what it was all about. It would be awesome if more of my KZbin friends were going. I’ll be there next year so if you guys go, let me know.

[@OthmarsVlog]

nice one 👍🍀🔥

[@SantosChronicles]

Thanks for the visit!

[@adventuresintvland]

It definitely sounds and look like you got your money’s worth. You are so much more of an extroverted person than myself (at least you appear that way). I can only imagine the contacts and new relationships you made

[@SantosChronicles]

In my opinion, it was totally worth it. As my wife says, I'm extroverted when I wake up. LOL. I have made a lot of new friends!

[@adventuresintvland]

@@SantosChronicles That’s great!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Looks like you had a blast and learned a few things as well…..

[@SantosChronicles]

It was so fun that I'll be back next year again. The social aspect was my favorite.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Such a great video! I really want to go! I hope next year doesn’t conflict with my daughter starting at college! 😮 it would be great to go with you because you could help me meet people!!😂😂

[@SantosChronicles]

Deal! Hope you are able to make it. It was so fun and so much great info.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Oh october! 👍 that’s great!

[@DoodletheTravelBug]

I want to go!!! Or at least call you and pick your brain! Some of it looked like a rock concert! You got the hook ups!!!

[@SantosChronicles]

I'll be going again next year. If you go, let me know. And I'm always available to talk KZbin talk.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Just a mile Carl… walk!!! Your wife is running marathons 🤣.

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, she is making me look bad 😂

[@RobbZipp]

For $1000, I don’t know if it’s worth it. How many KZbinrs just hung out outside, or in the hotel lobby?

[@RobbZipp]

That’s would I would probably do…

[@SantosChronicles]

I didn't notice any, but I also wasn't looking. The first night party and in between sessions is where I met most folks.

[@RobbZipp]

@@SantosChronicles maybe I’ll try that next year!!! I think even if I do get that great job, I wouldn’t be able to afford that.

[@JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Awesome! 🫶🏻❤️✨

[@SantosChronicles]

It was really fun and can’t wait to go back next year.
