«TwitchCon is a celebration of self-expression and creativity, championing creators who have changed the landscape for content and entertainment. It is a space that allows us to explore the evolution of livestreaming and where communities come together,» said Twitch CEO Dan Clancy.

«Rotterdam offers an accessible central location for the European community. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to come together and we're excited to announce the multi-year agreement with the venue which will allow us to build on and improve our event year over year.»
