YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki will return as the headline keynote speaker at this year’s VidCon, the annual conference announced today.
Wojcicki will join a veritable who’s-who of leaders in online video, virtual reality, gaming, television, social media, and more at the conference -- to be held next June in Anaheim, Calif.
