Three years of TwitchCon in Rotterdam
Rotterdam's role as TwitchCon Europe's host was originally announced as a three-year run covering 2024, 2025 and 2026. The first Rotterdam edition took place at Ahoy on 29 and 30 June 2024, followed by a second edition on 31 May and 1 June 2025 and the final event on 30 and 31 May 2026.
The convention also brought significant international attention to the city. Following the 2024 edition, the municipality of Rotterdam reported that more than 10,000 international visitors had come to the city for TwitchCon. It also said streams from Rotterdam Ahoy reached audiences around the world and highlighted spending by visitors in Rotterdam's hospitality and hotel sectors.
We have not found a comparable official attendance total specifically for the 2026 edition, so we are not assigning one here.

Rotterdam and the gaming economy
TwitchCon formed part of Rotterdam's wider effort to attract international events and strengthen the city's profile within the digital and creative economy. Its three-year stay at Ahoy combined an international visitor event with livestream exposure that carried images of Rotterdam far beyond the convention centre itself.
For the area around Ahoy and Zuidplein, the convention also meant an influx of international visitors using local hotels, restaurants, shops and transport. The completed 2026 edition brought that Rotterdam chapter of TwitchCon Europe to an end.
