Happy Thursday, Streamers!

TwitchCon is officially here!

Creators from around the world are gathering in San Diego for a weekend filled with IRL content, networking opportunities, platform updates and a slate of fun activities. While I won’t be attending myself, there are thousands of creators, big and small, making an appearance at this highly anticipated event. Maybe you are even reading this from the comfort of a hotel room right now.

If you are attending, Twitch commentator Zach Bussey put together an awesome list of TwitchCon parties and events to attend. Check it out here.

If you are feeling FMO right now, I do have a bit of positive news! Dan Clancy and Esfand will be broadcasting from the Partner Party and are inviting streamers to be part of their Drop-In Stream event. The link to sign up can be found in the Twitch News section below.

And lastly for all mi gente reading this, National Latine Heritage Month is here! I’m looking forward to seeing all the events that my fellow Latin creators are planning over the next month. If you are a Latin creator looking for opportunities to get involved, check out this week’s Tuesday To-Dos.
