OREM — YouTube-loving Utahns will get a another chance to rub elbows with other fans and creators at the Creator Viewer Experience (CVX Live) on March 25-26, held for the second year running at Utah Valley University's UCCU center.
CVX Live is the brainchild of brothers Brett and John Roberts, the creators behind the "Bored Shorts TV" YouTube Channel, famous for the popular "Kid History" and "Kid Snippets" series, which features adults acting out the whimsical stories told by children.
The Roberts brothers decided to plan the event after attending various similar conventions throughout the country and noticed the comparative lack of such an event in Utah.
"It's a big fun party," Brett Roberts told the Deseret News of last year's event. "Lots of performances ... a chance for channels to engage with their fans."
CVX 2015 featured popular creators such as Devon "Supertramp" Graham, GloZell Green and the cast of Studio C. This year's event will see a return of Studio C, as well as the likes of musician Alex Boye, beauty vlogger Mindy McKnight of Cute Girls Hairstyles and the family behind the daily vlog Shaytards.
The convention will include opportunities for fans to meet with creators, seminars for budding YouTubers, and other events, and will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at cvxlive.com, starting at $18 for a one-day pass. Kids three years old and under are free.
