TwitchCon is back in San Diego this year, bringing together streamers, fans, artists and creators for a weekend of gaming, art and community — all IRL (in real life). The convention is part trade show and part pop-culture festival.
Attendees can pick up freebies from tech companies such as LG and Meta, and try out new products. Meanwhile, in Artist Alley, independent creators showcase anime-inspired art and fan work. There’s a lot to see and do — here’s a look at what we saw at TwitchCon 2025.
