In 2014, SitC took place in Alexandra Palace and attracted over 8,000 attendees.[5] In 2016, SitC was acquired by MCM Expo Group as part of their "MCM Central" brand. The first event hosted under the MCM ownership took place 12-14 August 2016.[6] History2009 - 2011 (London Parks)The first Summer in the City was held in London, as a traditional YouTube gathering. It was organised by vlogger Tom Burns and YouTube musician Dave Bullas, with the support of their friends Liam Dryden And Jazza John. The three-day event was held in the last weekend of August and took place across several of London's Royal Parks. The largest attendance at any point was reportedly 200 people, a mix of YouTube creators and viewers.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} In its first three years, the event followed the pattern of meeting in parks by day, and moving to a London venue such as The Luminaire for live music performances in the evening.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} 2012 (The Brewery){{Primary sources|section|date=January 2019}}Following the rapid growth of the event, the decision was made to hold the fourth Summer in the City at a dedicated venue for its duration; SitC 2012 took place at the Brewery in London from 17-19 August. This was the first year the event would introduce official programming, including workshops and Q&As from creators, as well as an official livestream on the event's YouTube channel.[7] The number of prospective attendees at SitC 2012 exceeded the 1,000-person capacity of the venue, inspiring the need to move away from being a free event and introduce ticketing in following years.[8] 2013 - 2014 (Alexandra Palace){{Primary sources|section|date=January 2019}}SitC's first official ticketed event and the fifth event overall was held in London's Alexandra Palace, with an increased capacity of 7,000 attendees. Backlash over the announcement that the event would now charge admission before confirming the venue, dates or line-up of featured creators resulted in the cut of early ticket prices to £10 plus VAT.[9] The event was sold out by early July 2013,[10] and was held over two days on 17-18 August. Accompanying 2013's event was a spin-off tour called the Summer Warm-Up, which involved creators from the SitC 2013 line-up touring through some of the UK's major cities, to perform one-off gigs in the build-up to the main event in London.[11] The 2013 SitC was also the introduction of formal meet & greets, where fans would wait in line to meet popular YouTubers from the lineup. The high demand of creators along with the "first come, first served" model of the meet & greets resulted in the decision to add additional ticketing to the meet & greets in 2014.[12] Tickets for SitC 2014 were available as early as October 2013,[13] and had sold out by January.[14] The sixth event also saw the return of Friday programming, as the event introduced Friday as Creator Day; a more limited event of panels and networking specifically targeted towards creators rather than fans.[15] Continuing issues with the demand for SitC's meet & greets in 2014 inspired the development of an online ballot system, that has since been implemented in following events.[16] 2015 - Present (ExCeL London)Summer in the City moved to ExCeL for its seventh year which increased its overall capacity to 10,000 attendees.[17] Upon the preliminary announcement of the venue and ticket sales in January 2015, nine influential creators from talent network Gleam including Zoella, Alfie Deyes and Joe Sugg simultaneously announced they would not be attending 2015's event, favouring plans for their own event titled Amity Fest.[18] The event maintained a robust lineup of creators, hosting the presentation of several YouTube Play Button awards to creators who had recently hit milestones of 100,000 or 1 million subscribers on their channels.[19] In February 2016, it was announced that Summer in the City had joined MCM Expo Group, who would be providing resources and support for the original organisational team in the event's eighth year.[20] SitC 2016 was also the debut of the Summer in the City Awards, an event dedicated to presenting community-nominated awards such as "Best Vlogger" and "YouTuber Book Of The Year" to winning creators on the mainstage. The winners included Dan Howell, Phil Lester, Evan Edinger, TomSka, and Dodie Clark.[21] Emma Blackery published three SitC 2017 videos in her vlog and won in the "Song of the Year" category.[22][23][24] Other winners included Hannah Witton, TomSka, Dodie Clark, and Rose and Rosie.[25]References1. ^{{cite web|last=Cook|first=James|url=http://uk.businessinsider.com/inside-the-london-youtube-convention-summer-in-the-city-2015-2015-8|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20150821133804/http://uk.businessinsider.com/inside-the-london-youtube-convention-summer-in-the-city-2015-2015-8|archivedate=21 August 2015|title=Inside the YouTube convention where thousands of teenage girls queue to meet social media stars|publisher=Business Insider|date=18 August 2015|accessdate=25 August 2016}} {{YouTube navbox}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Summer in the City: the UK's biggest YouTube gathering|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/video/2014/aug/18/summer-in-the-city-youtube-video|date=18 August 2014|authors=Fred McConnell, Irene Baqué, Adam Sich|publisher=The Guardian}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=When YouTube Stars Go Offline and Meet Fans in Person|url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/when-youtube-stars-go-offline-and-meet-fans-in-person-1.2237162|date=15 February 2015|publisher=CTV}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=When YouTube stars go offline and meet up live|url=http://www.thedailystar.net/when-youtube-stars-go-offline-and-meet-up-live-64955|date=15 February 2015|publisher=The Daily Star}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Rightster Agrees Live Streaming Deal Summer in The City|url=http://www.thedrum.com/news/2014/08/04/rightster-agrees-live-streaming-deal-summer-city-youtube-event|author=Natalie Mortimer|date=4 August 2014|quote=SitC, now in its sixth year, attracts over 8,000 attendees from across the world in a celebration of ‘all things YouTube’.|website=TheDrum.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=MCM Is New Owner Of YouTube Festival Summer In The City|url=http://www.mcmbuzz.com/blog/2016/02/24/mcm-are-new-owners-of-youtube-festival-summer-in-the-city/|website=MCMBuzz.com|author= Dave Golder |date=24 February 2016|accessdate=25 August 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=Summer in the City 2012 LIVE |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CXpKzfOKQ |publisher=Summer in the City |accessdate=25 August 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web |title=From all of us - Thank You. - Summer in the City |url=http://summerinthecitygathering.tumblr.com/post/29892016424/from-all-of-us-thank-you |publisher=Summer in the City |accessdate=25 August 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=Explaining the Ticketing System - SitC 2013 |url=http://summerinthecitygathering.tumblr.com/post/39395247823/explaining-the-ticketing-system-sitc-2013 |publisher=Summer in the City |accessdate=25 August 2016}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Summer in the City on Twitter |url=https://twitter.com/SummerInTheCity/status/353895907743375362 |publisher=Summer in the City |accessdate=25 August 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=Summer Warm Up - Lineup Announcement |url=http://summerinthecitygathering.tumblr.com/post/52561918298/summer-warm-up-lineup-announcement |publisher=Summer in the City |accessdate=25 August 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web |title=Saturday Wrap-Up!
