Whether you’re attending or watching from home, get ready to have your mind blown as Twitch Studios brings you a spectacular variety of entertainment from TwitchCon 2017. We’ve programmed a show that we feel celebrates the very best of the Twitch community and culture, and we want to see you in person or in chat enjoying every second with us!

What you may remember as “Kappa Theater” is now the Glitch Stage! Streaming on www.twitch.tv/twitch, this main theater will feature all the marquee content you’d expect at TwitchCon, including:

  • Keynote: The opening presentation to TwitchCon with all of Twitch’s exciting announcements. And maybe a few djWHEAT “my baby is all grown up” BibleThump moments.
  • Cosplay Contest: The most impressive cosplayers on Twitch compete for a share of $70,000!
  • Talent Show: Twitch’s performing arts showcase returns for it’s second year.
  • PJSaltan of Stream East vs. West and Finals: Twitch’s saltiest streamer competition crowns a 2017 champion.
  • Roasts: Laugh along as streamers tell jokes at the expense of a guest of honor (and each other) in two roasts brought to you once again by SourKoolaidShow.
  • Streamer Showdown: A game show for streamers that depends on your input in chat.
  • Twitch Yearly: TwitchCon comes to a close with your yearly dose of friends and feels.
  • …As well as a yet-to-be announced special presentation from Twitch Studios!

New this year to TwitchCon is the TwitchPresents Stage! Here, we’ll showcase hand-selected and submitted content featuring some of the most entertaining groups and personalities on Twitch with:

Live Role Playing:

Talk Shows:

Special Sessions:

And even The Bob Ross Paint-Along, where you can participate live or remotely to create Bob-style art of your own!

All of this will be streaming as well on www.twitch.tv/TwitchPresents. We hope to see you there in Long Beach, or live in chat!
