Twitch has unveiled the dates and venues for the highly-anticipated TwitchCon 2024. Despite recent layoffs affecting over 500 employees, the streaming giant remains dedicated to its vibrant community and promises an unforgettable experience.

In a bold move, TwitchCon Europe will descend upon Rotterdam, Netherlands, captivating audiences at the Rotterdam Ahoy on June 29-30. Meanwhile, the North American edition is set to make a triumphant return to the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, from Sept. 20-22. The exciting announcements were exclusively made on X (formerly Twitter).

Looking ahead, TwitchCon Europe is slated to revisit Rotterdam in 2025 and 2026, establishing itself as a recurring spectacle. Simultaneously, San Diego has secured its position as the North American host for this semi-annual extravaganza from 2025 until 2028. According to Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, TwitchCon is more than an event; it's a celebration of the transformative power of content creators in shaping the entertainment landscape.

The unveiling of TwitchCon 2024 details follows Twitch's recent restructuring, marked by CEO Dan Clancy's public announcement on Jan. 10 via a blog post. Despite the challenges, Clancy affirms Twitch's unwavering commitment to serving its streamers and maintaining its status as the premier livestreaming platform.

During a candid Twitch livestream the day after the blog post, Clancy shed light on the tough decision to let go of over 500 staff members. He delved into the company's current financial landscape, acknowledging that Twitch is not yet profitable. However, he emphasized Amazon's unwavering support, crucial for sustaining Twitch in the long term.

"We need to run it sustainably," Clancy stated frankly, addressing the pursuit of profitability. It's evident that the grand spectacle of TwitchCon plays a pivotal role in this mission. As Twitch gears up for 2024, the anticipation builds, promising a showcase of innovation, collaboration, and the indomitable spirit of the streaming community.
