Despite protests in France, Twitch is still planning on hosting TwitchCon Paris next weekend.

“The venue is not near the epicenter of the protests, or any of the areas that have seen protest activity, and has continued to operate business as usual,” Twitch said on Twitter. The event is scheduled for July 8th and 9th.

The protests began earlier this week after a 17-year-old was shot by police.
