Instagram’s Global Meme Summit
It’s no secret that 2020 was the year of the meme. Memes more than ever before became an integral way for people to communicate, commiserate, and somehow still laugh through it all. In 2021, Instagram decided to honor and celebrate Meme Creators around the globe, bringing them together in one Zoom room to chart a social course for the history of the meme.
The Global Meme Summit was an inaugural gathering of 300+ awesome global Meme Creators for a deep dive into trends, meme masterclasses, networking & collabs, and exclusive conversations with Instagram leadership. Notable speakers included Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram's Head of Product, Vishal Shah. An impressive lineup of 20 emerging & established Meme Creators like @9gag, @themermaidscales, @karenxcheng, @afffirmations, offered up career advice and covered topics like AR effects, using Reels to meme, mental health in the meme space, and more. Top accounts like @tanksinatra, @jillyhendrix, @kalesalad, @mytherapistsays were all in attendance, and each attendee received an official Global Meme Summit mailer post-event as a thank you.
