Inclusivity City

This is an area designed in partnership with AnyKey to give attendees a chance to connect with organizations that are helping to make Twitch a welcoming place for everyone. Featured exhibitors include AnyKey, Hack Harassment, Online SOS, and I Need Diverse Games. In the City, visitors can learn about their initiatives and meet guest streamers that are raising awareness of their causes. Inclusivity City will also host a tournament presented by Smash Sisters, a series of women’s crew battles featuring Super Smash Bros. games. Attendees are invited to network with inclusivity agents, or host their own small meetups in this space.
