TRAVEL

Located at 303 Carroll Street in Akron, Ohio 44325, the University of Akron’s Student Union is a great venue for the Akron Comicon — very easy to get to. There is plenty of free parking in adjoining surface lots and parking decks. The complex houses three restaurants, a Starbucks coffee house, and two ATM machines for your convenience.  

 

We believe the Student Union provides a venue large enough to allow for the convention to grow from this smaller one-day convention to a larger weekend event. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with you and the University of Akron.
