Twitch wants to reach gamers everywhere — and will livestream from several global gaming events

Just because livestreaming video site Twitch is all about enabling people to broadcast gameplay from their bedrooms doesn’t mean it won’t also help them meet their buddies face-to-face.

Twitch is close to throwing its own convention, called TwitchCon, this September, and the company is announcing today that it plans to expand its global presence at events around the world. In addition to its previously announced plans to hit up Germany and GamesCom next month, the company is now also planning to have a booth at PAX Australia in Melbourne, the Electronic Game Show in Mexico City, and the Tokyo Game Show in Japan. But this isn’t only about getting Twitch a physical presence at conventions. The company is also working to improve the way its site operates in markets around the globe.
