The Twitch community is known for their passion. Throughout the years, we’ve seen countless friendships formed, engagements and weddings broadcasted live, and dozens of organized gatherings at conventions for broadcasters and their fans.
In the last year, we’ve started seeing this passion evolve into groups of broadcasters and fans banding together to form local, city-based events dedicated to sharing their love for Twitch, networking with each other and local gaming organizations, and growing friendships IRL. Essentially, a new form of meet-up has been popping up all around the globe, sometimes with 100+ people in attendance! Naturally, we wanted to figure out how we could equally support all of these events and promote them, and that’s why we created the Community MeetUps, Powered by Twitch program.
- Provide limited use of the “Powered by Twitch” logos (to be used only in association with the MeetUp).
- Provide various swag items, for use at each group’s discretion (total number varies depending on the size of the group)
- Promote the event via social media and/or Twitch Public Access
- Allow use of the tag “Powered By Twitch” in social media posts and marketing materials.
In exchange, the MeetUp will:
- Brand the event as “<City> Community MeetUp, Powered by Twitch”.
- Abide by the Twitch Trademark and Brand guidelines (which means, aside from the “Powered by Logo”, no use of the “Twitch” or “Glitch” logos, no use of any of the emotes under Twitch’s copyright, and proper use of all color schemes).
- Keep the event free of charge or charge a small ticket fee depending on the size of the event.
- Obtain approval from Twitch for all sponsorships, and keep sponsors associated with the event related to gaming culture.
- Post and enforce an Events Rules of Conduct at each event.
- Put on at least 2 events per calendar year (free or at a small cost).
If you choose not to participate in the program, that’s totally understandable! We encourage you to form MeetUps and strengthen your communities in the way you best feel fits the needs of your attendees. However, we do ask that organizers with MeetUps currently not involved in the program abide by the Brand and Trademark guidelines, including avoiding the use of Twitch’s name, logo, and IP in websites and social media handles.
To apply for entrance into the Community MeetUps, Powered by Twitch program, we look for groups who:
- Have organized at least two meetups or gatherings with at least 20 attendees at each event.
- Are in the US, Canada, Australia, Asia, Latin America, or Europe
- Are a single volunteer, volunteer group, or part of a 501(c)6 non-profit organization that is not a business.
- Are not applying for a city that is already part of the program. Check the site for our current MeetUp cities.
- Are currently in good standing with Twitch’s Brand and Trademark Guidelines; and have an existing social media presence (via website or Twitter/Facebook/Discord).
