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.
