The very first TwitchCon took place back in 2015 and it has been hosted annually ever since at different venues in California. The first edition took place in San Francisco followed by San Diego and Long Beach in 2016 and 2017. The TwitchCon 2018 date and venue have now been confirmed and the convention is being brought back to the Bay Area this year.
TwitchCon 2018 is going to take place from October 26-28 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. TwitchCon director Krystal Herring said as with the previous three conventions, the company is keeping things fresh this year with a new location.
“And since San Jose has a proven track record of successfully holding major events with plenty of great places to eat and stay, it’s exciting to give our attendees a new city to explore for all of the expected community meetups,” Herring said.
The convention continues to pull in more people annually. Attendance has surged from 20,000 back in 2015 to almost 50,000 in 2017. One can expect that it’s going to pull in even more people this year.
Twitch hasn’t revealed any details about tickets so far but it did offer early bird options in late May last year for the 2017 convention so it’s likely that we’ll get to see those options around the same time this year as well.
