In a nutshell, TwitchCon is a convention where livestreamers — or streamers as they’re known on the platform — meet their community. But it’s also a tech convention and a business conference.
Twitch, owned by Amazon, started out as a livestreaming platform for gamers but, over the years, has transformed into a platform for all sorts of streaming content. As a platform, Twitch averages about 2.5 million viewers at any one point and 31 million average daily website visits.
And that brings us to the San Diego Convention Center, where Twitch will be hosting the three-day event. It's part pop-culture, part tech convention and part business conference.
TwitchCon is sold out but KPBS will be there all three days of the con. Follow along for photo updates on all things Twitch.
