Jimmy Donaldson — known to most as MrBeast and the world's most-subscribed YouTube creator — will visit Tashkent on 9 October 2026. It will be his first trip to Central Asia. The event is being organised by Uzbekistan's Art and Culture Development Foundation in cooperation with the Tourism Committee.
How the meetup works
The event will host 200 fans, selected at random from people who registered online between 6 and 8 October through the foundation's official portal; the age limit is 18 and over. Entry is free, but participants cover their own travel to Tashkent. Organisers warned against fraudulent links, saying no payment, bank card or password is requested for the event; the venue will be disclosed only to selected participants.
Who is MrBeast
Jimmy Donaldson is an American creator known for videos built around big-budget challenges, elaborate competitions and large cash prizes. He runs the most-subscribed channel on YouTube and, on 12 June 2026, became the first individual creator to pass 500 million subscribers.
Why it matters
According to the organisers, the visit could support Uzbekistan's YouTube and blogging community, connect local creators to the global media space, raise standards of video production and scripting, and promote blogging as a serious profession.
