Streaming platform Twitch officially confirmed dates for two TwitchCon's in 2022, one in Europe and one in North America. The first will be held in Amsterdam on July 16-17, the second in San Diego on October 7-9.
This will be the first offline TwitchCon since September 2019. The previous 2 years the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the platform held an online GlitchCon event, which copied the traditional TwitchCon with Twitch Rivals battles and a speech by Twitch CEO Emmett Shear but lasted only one day.
The venue of the European festival will be RAI Amsterdam. In America, the event will be hosted by the San Diego Convention Center. This is where the last TwitchCon was held in 2019. The schedule and ticket information for TwitchCon 2022 has not yet been released.
TwitchCon is a convention for the livestreaming video platform Twitch. The convention is organized by Twitch Interactive and focuses on the general culture of video game streaming and video gaming. The first convention was held in 2015, in San Francisco.
