This year AmeCon will be held at the plush and vast campus of Keele University, Staffordshire. With its sizable ballrooms, bars and flexible working spaces, it's the ideal place to hold the convention.

AmeCon will be spread over 3 key buildings, the first being the primary hub of AmeCon parties and staged events, the Keele University Student Union (KUSU) building. The Lounge bar is bound to be the main hang out between key events and let's not forget the pub quiz.

The Sports Center will hold the dealers room among other things. And for all your anime viewing needs the Dorothy Hodgkin building will be your first point of call.

For those who are staying on-site, you'll be eating a full english breakfast every morning (included with every on-site room booking) in the outstanding Keele Hall building.
