Here you can meet your favorite streamers and get an autograph from them, buy souvenirs, watch eSports matches, take part in raffles and show tournaments. This is a great place to have fun and make lots of new friends.
Does TwitchCon happen every year?
From 2015 to 2019, TwitchCon was held only in the US. Usually, there was only one event per year. In 2019, the festival was held for the first time in Europe, in Berlin. After a short break due to the coronavirus pandemic, in 2022 and 2023 the organizers decided to hold two TwitchCon events a year — one in the US and the other in Europe.
Can regular people go to TwitchCon?
Yes! TwitchCon is for the entire Twitch community. While there will be sessions and some content geared towards streaming, admins have plenty planned for non-streamers as well. Fans, viewers, developers, and anyone who loves Twitch will find lots to do at TwitchCon.

How much are TwitchCon tickets for two days?

Are TwitchCon tickets limited?
Tickets are limited to one per Twitch account. Tickets are not refundable, exchangeable, transferable or replaceable if lost or stolen. Tickets are for a specific date and therefore the 14-day withdrawal period under EU law does not apply. In the event that Twitch cancels TwitchCon Paris, all ticket holders will be refunded. You will need to bring a government issued photo ID that matches the legal name you provided during registration as well as show you are over 16 years of age to pick up your physical badge and enter TwitchCon.
How many people can go to TwitchCon?
Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is one of the largest exhibition centers in Europe. It hosts esports tournaments, exhibitions of retro cars and agricultural machinery. It's hard to say how many spectators will come to TwitchCon Paris this year, but at the last event in Amsterdam there were about 15K visitors. In the US, TwitchCon viewership typically fluctuates between 30K and 50K.
Is TwitchCon a meet and greet?
A reservation to meet your favourite streamer is required and can be done online at twitchcon.com or the TwitchCon mobile app. Select your desired Meet & Greet session within the Show Schedule at twitchcon.com no earlier than 27 June 2023 at 17:30 CET to reserve your spot in line. Reservations will be issued on a first come first served basis. We are anticipating that most Meet & Greet spaces will fill very quickly, so if you have a favourite streamer you’d like to meet at TwitchCon Paris, be sure to register early. Once a session has reached its max capacity, the reservation button will be inactive and additional attendees will not be able to make a reservation.

Where will TwitchCon be next year?
The organizers have not yet announced where the TwitchCon festivals will be held in 2024. It can be assumed that these will be two events again — one in Europe and one in the USA.
I'm afraid of riots in France. Are there places to avoid in Paris?
The administration continues to closely monitor the protests taking place in and around Paris. There is no anticipated impact to TwitchCon Paris—the venue is not near the epicenter of the protests, or any of the areas that have seen protest activity, and has continued to operate business as usual.
