TwitchCon San Diego runs the same dates at the San Diego Convention Center, featuring Twitch Rivals Arena, Glitch Theater, Community MeetUps and Creator Camp workshops, with show hours 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The Clios hold the first Clio Creator Awards on November 18 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, in partnership with YouTube and Influential.
