TwitchCon San Diego 2020 Canceled Due To Coronavirus Concerns

Another event has been canceled amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and its associated social distancing measures. TwitchCon San Diego, which was scheduled to take place from September 25-27 at the San Diego Convention Center, is no longer happening.

"Due to restrictions on large gatherings and ongoing concerns for the health and safety of our community, the Twitch team, and the local San Diego community, we have decided to cancel TwitchCon San Diego this fall," the event organizer wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. "While we can't gather in person, we're exploring ways that we could join forces in an alternate dimension later this year. We'll keep you posted."

It's unclear what "another dimension" means, but it seems the organizers behind TwitchCon are considering some sort of digital/virtual event for later in the year.

TwitchCon wouldn't be the only event to have opted for an online format if that comes to fruition. Following the cancellation of E3 2020, a number of companies--from Electronic Arts to Ubisoft and more--have taken to the internet to host their respective conferences. Many of these events are still going on, such as EA Play Live, which is set to air today at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET.
