Select from the following list of topics to find out everything you want to know about what happens at TwitchCon.
All sessions are first-come, first-serve, and are free with your TwitchCon badge. We do have to adhere to the venue’s capacity requirements, so if a session is popular and the room is filled, staff may ask you kindly to move on from the area to continue your fun at TwitchCon. We recommend planning your schedule ahead of time and arriving at the theatre with plenty of time. The TwitchCon app will be a great tool to help you plan your TwitchCon experience!
Some sessions may fill up and we may not be able to offer a seat to everyone in line. If this happens, we recommend checking the schedule, or asking TwitchCon Staff, if the session will be streamed or recorded. Not all sessions are streamed or recorded but we will do our best to accommodate as many people as possible.
Please fill out the accessibility and accommodations form here. If you have any questions please contact accessibilitysupport@twitchcon.com. Your TwitchCon badge will have an accessibility marker added to your badge.
All bags must be inspected and tagged. Attendees must notify registration of this need (see accessibility request above), have their items screened and tagged.

There will be digitally provided captioning in each content room on the 2nd level. The captioning service is provided through Wordly. Attendees can scan a QR Code or access a link from the TwitchCon mobile app on personal mobile devices that will direct them to the room-specific website. Captions can be interpreted in multiple languages and are also available audibly using personal headphones. Stand-by interpreters will be located at the Help Desk and deployed throughout the event as needed.
SpeakSee microphones will also be available from the Help Desk for attendees to check out and use throughout the day on a first come, first served basis. These devices help capture and transcribe speech in real time to support accessibility and inclusion in all conversations.
Assistance dogs are permitted in the venue. Water will be available throughout the venue and a “break/waste” spot will be available inside the venue for the assistance dogs. “Comfort”, “therapy”, or “emotional support” animals that are not assistance dogs are not permitted entry to the event/venue.

Tickets are limited to one (1) per Twitch account, other than as listed in the Shared Channel section of this FAQ. Tickets are not refundable, exchangeable, transferable, or replaceable if lost or stolen. Tickets are for a specific date and therefore the 14-day withdrawal period under EU law does not apply. In the event that Twitch cancels TwitchCon Europe in Rotterdam, all ticket holders will be refunded. You are required to bring a government issued photo ID that matches the legal name and age you provided during registration. Attendees that are 13-15 years old do not need to have an ID to enter, but their parent/legal guardian (or authorised adult) will be required to bring a government issued photo ID that matches their legal name provided during their registration.
If you are 13-15 years old, your parent / legal guardian (or authorised adult) is REQUIRED to register for their ticket before you submit your Parental Consent Form.
Once you have received email approval from your Parental Consent Form, please use the emailed invitation link to complete purchasing a ticket for a minor. Make sure to check your spam / junk folder for the email approval. If you have any questions or issues with this process please reach out to our team here.
