What did TwitchCon do right? Plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panels\/break-out sessions, while sometimes questionably staffed, were varied and targeted to all levels of streamer, from hobbyist to full-timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swag is high quality and looks like it’s going to last for a while. Last year’s leftover swag being in discount bin “loot boxes” was a nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entertainment was provided for the swag line, since they knew it’d be long. Live music entertained us while we waited, but wasn’t so loud that we couldn’t hold conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Twitch Prime lounge was nice, provided a lot of seating, and both sunlight and shade. The free refreshments and breather from the greater convention were worth getting that sticker on my badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The con provided accommodations for those medically unable to stand in lines. At every line, there was an express lane labeled “medical” for those who needed it. I heard zero griping from the people in lines around me, and was really happy that if I choose to come back later in life, when my knees are even worse, I will still have the option to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The streamer roast was both hilarious and offensive to all up on stage. Which means it was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Smith. Kevin freaking Smith. KEVIN SMITH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I regret going to TwitchCon 2018? Not for a second. Would I go again? Well… probably not. There would have to be a lot of changes for me to spring for the ticket, hotel, and airfare again. It’s not impossible, but it is unlikely.
