TwitchCon - 2017

TwitchCon 2017 also featured a developer day on Thursday, October 19, which was a full day dedicated to assisting many aspiring game creators develop their businesses. TwitchCon featured many special events including a Talent show, a party hosted by the early access game H1Z1, a cosplay competition, and an area specifically for artists to sell their unique creations. Another event is the OMEN challenge hosted by HP. It took place on Saturday the 21st of October. Periodically throughout the challenge, viewers actually attending as well as viewing on Twitch were asked to cast votes to "torture" the competitors stationed in their "torture chambers". This challenge featured the early access game known as "Playerunknown's Battlegrounds". Hundreds of Twitch streamers such as Shroud, Summit1G, and Drdisrespect made appearances to see fans and other streamers, all gathered under the same roof to meet their fans and friends. The convention also included a Streamer Workshop, which gave new streamers advice for growing their following. To top off all the fun, several announcements were made during the keynote given by Twitch's CEO, Emmett Shear, and djWHEAT: Stream summaries, premieres, raids, rooms, rituals, achievements, and subscription gifting would be added.

Twitch - Content and Audience - Emotes

In some cases, Twitch viewers that subscribe to channels are rewarded with special emotes specific to the streamer to which they subscribed.

At TwitchCon 2017, several announcements were made about additions the website. Stream summaries would be added to let streamers view their statistics at the end of their streams. Premieres were also added, which essentially assist in hyping an audience for the release of new content. Raids were made much easier by giving streamers a command, and sending the audience to another streamer's channel to watch their content and participate in a new chat room. Rooms were made to let the chat continue even while the streamer was offline, and to have more intimate and meaningful conversations with their viewers. Rituals were brought to the website to make new viewers feel more comfortable in the streamer's community. A new system of achievements was created, giving streamers specific goals to reach affiliate and partner. Lastly, the gifting of subscriptions was added so that viewers could purchase subscriptions for other viewers.
