Celebrities
Variety today announced the programming for its third annual Virtual TV Fest. The three-day event, June 7 – 9, will feature engaging conversations with leading executives in the industry.

Social media influencers whose following has expanded into television will be featured in virtual panels. One virtual session will focus on “TV’s Queer Pioneers,” which will feature actors who have created impacting queer characters in recent years. Panelists on the “TV as Queer” panel will feature Harvey Guillen, Mike Mills, Woody Nelson, and Cary Brownstein.
Camp Badge
If you’re a member of the Virtual TV community and have attended any of the Virtual TV Fest events, you’ve probably noticed the ‘Camp Badge’ logo floating about. This emblem, known as a “F”, represents a person who wore it during World War II. This person was often called upon to translate spoken instructions given by camp guards. There are also historical monuments and quotations based on the badge-imagery. Some of the most recognizable monuments are shaped like the triangle. Today’s pink triangle emblem represents gay rights.
The ATX TV Festival has been a virtual event for two years, and is returning to Austin for in-person programming. Next year’s festival, dubbed “TV Camp for Grown-Ups,” will offer both a virtual and in-person option, with programming from June 2-5 in downtown Austin. Ticket prices will be announced in January. Initial programming will be revealed at the festival in January.
