Wondering what Twitch is?
Twitch is an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions, in addition to offering music broadcasts, creative content, and “in real life” streams. It is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc.
They made a heartfelt announcement on their blog about the anticipated event TwitchCon.
“Twitch launched in 2011, and in the 10 years since it has brought together millions of people to celebrate what they love — both online and in person. We’ve continued to prioritize the safety and well-being of our community and staff, but believe us: we’re as eager as you to experience the magic of TwitchCon again.
Last year we welcomed our 50,000th Partner and added 8,550 new Partners, as well as 548,000 Affiliates, bringing the total number of Affiliates on Twitch to more than 1.2M. We also saw the biggest growth in viewership we have ever seen in the history of Twitch. With so many new creators, viewers, and moderators who have joined Twitch during this pandemic, many have not yet had the opportunity to meet the communities they’ve created or been welcomed into.
This is why we’re especially excited to invite everyone to come celebrate, experience, and be a part of something so unique and special. An event that we could describe with a bunch of words, but will instead show you a video.
We intend for TwitchCon to return with TwitchCon Amsterdam in July 2022, followed by TwitchCon San Diego in October 2022. Of course, these are still uncertain times and our plans will remain flexible as needed. Our top priority while planning TwitchCon is safety, and we will closely follow local health guidelines and recommendations.
Make sure to follow our TwitchCon Twitter for updated information and news. Stay tuned for official dates, discounted hotels and tickets. We hope to see as many of you as possible in person at TwitchCon next year, if not sooner.
<3,
Twitch”
Mark your calendars. Next year’s about to be extra pog.
