TwitchCon is an opportunity for streamers to get together, meet Twitch staff, watch live performances and panel events, and experience esports competitions.

Last year's TwitchCon in Amsterdam had a drag showcase that was huge amounts of fun. Over 14,500 Twitch community members attended - an increase of 65 percent over TwitchCon Berlin in 2019, the first of its kind in Europe.

However, the American event was marred in controversy when a streamer broke her back in a foam pit stand.

"Every day Twitch brings together a global community of millions to share an endless array of passions from gaming to sports, arts, talk-shows and more," said Twitch's Senior Vice President/GM, EMEA, Damian Burns.

"Those who join us in Paris in July will see the magic of Twitch come to life IRL - communities meeting their favourite streamers often for the very first time in-person, history being made in Twitch Rivals competitions, boundless creativity on display at Artist Alley and a wide array of unmissable brand experiences at our Expo Hall."

Tickets for the events themselves are not yet available, but get booking those hotels now if you're looking to attend.
