TwitchCon 2022 is bringing the streaming community together for two massive events this year – one in Europe and one in North America. Let me break down everything you need to know about these exciting gatherings.
TwitchCon Amsterdam 2022
The European edition of TwitchCon took place July 16-17, 2022, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre in the Netherlands. This marked a triumphant return for TwitchCon EU after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Streamers and fans from across Europe came together for meet-and-greets, panels, live entertainment, and the latest in streaming technology.
TwitchCon San Diego 2022
The North American TwitchCon is happening October 7-9, 2022, at the San Diego Convention Center in California. This three-day extravaganza promises to be the biggest TwitchCon yet, with thousands of content creators and fans expected to attend.
What to Expect at TwitchCon San Diego
If you’re planning to attend the San Diego event, you’re in for quite a treat. The convention will feature:
– Meet-and-greet opportunities with your favorite streamers
– Live streaming stations where you can watch content creators in action
– Panel discussions about streaming tips, community building, and content creation
– The popular Rivals tournament series
– Artist Alley showcasing community artists
– Cosplay contests and competitions
– Interactive exhibits from gaming companies and tech brands
Ticket Information and Safety Measures
Tickets for TwitchCon San Diego are available through the official Twitch website. Due to ongoing health concerns, attendees must show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event. Masks are required for all attendees inside the convention center.
Making the Most of Your TwitchCon Experience
As someone who’s attended previous TwitchCons, I can tell you that planning is crucial. The venue is massive, and there’s so much happening simultaneously that you’ll want to prioritize your must-see events. Download the TwitchCon app to create your personal schedule and get real-time updates about panel changes or special appearances.
Don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes – you’ll be doing lots of walking! And while meeting your favorite streamers is exciting, remember that some of the best TwitchCon moments happen when you’re connecting with fellow community members and discovering new content creators you’ve never heard of before.
If you can’t make it to either event this year, don’t worry – Twitch typically streams many of the main stage events on their channel, so you can still be part of the experience from home. The energy might not be quite the same as being there in person, but you’ll still get to enjoy much of the content and community interaction that makes TwitchCon special.
