Twitch is holding a game-broadcasting convention this September

4.7

Want to meet up with your favorite game broadcasters? Of course you do, and with Twitch's inaugural convention, aptly dubbed "TwitchCon," later this year you totally can. There aren't a ton of details yet, but it takes place in San Francisco from Friday September 25th to Saturday the 26th. The live-streaming giant promises ways to elevate your broadcasting game and chances to meet your followers (or maybe even your idols) too, which makes us think it's going to be more along the lines of VidCon or PlayList Live than something like the Penny Arcade Expo. The very notion of a Twitch convention likely wouldn't be possible without that massive influx of cash from Amazon last year, and this is a sign of how far online video's grown (especially game-focused stuff) lately. What's more, this is indicative of just how popular Twitch has become as a platform in a relatively short period of time. Planning on attending? Hit the comments and let us know.

Earn I'm loving all these conventions for things like this for example, VidCon, Playlist Live and now this! I cant wait for this and to watch all the videos the streamers produce of there time there, its a shame its not in England since I would have definitely gone with some friends.

Nothing ever happens in england, the only thing I have been to in London was G3 and I did meet quite a few youtubers and competitive players but its not as good as what you find in America.

Well probably more than Sweden xd We got Dreamhack though, but nothing more xD

Mainly because of the population. That's why Britain doesn't get much Cons going on.

My prediction is that a lot of people will go to this event because Twitch has gained huge popularity lately.
