What is AmeCon?
AmeCon is the UK's largest residential convention dedicated to the celebration of Japanese Animation and Comics, and the community that these media bring together. We try to be a little bit country, and a little bit rock'n'roll - well, maybe a lot rock'n'roll, but that's beside the point.
The weekend-long timetable is chock-full of attendee-run events providing new insights, or alternative viewpoints, on a variety of related subjects. Either way, they are a great way to meet likeminded people who love the same things you do.
Our infamous nightly parties provide ample opportunity to kick back and get your groove on with friends, old and new. Folks coming to AmeCon might only see each other once or twice a year, so we do everything we can to make it a weekend to remember!
Above all else, AmeCon is an event that is run by fans, for fans, and would be nothing without the fans. Every penny AmeCon receives goes into making the event that bit more special for the hundreds of attendees who return year on year. If you want to know more about AmeCon, have a poke about the site or the forum, or drop us an email!
AmeCon Shuttle Bus Service
Wed, 28/07/2010 - 10:01pm — HelA first for AmeCon this year, we are delighted to announce two ShuttleBus services, exclusive and free to AmeCon attendees over the course of the AmeCon weekend, provided by Keele University Students Union (KUSU).
External Service
The external service is a 16 seater MiniBus running between Keele University and Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station during the day on Friday to collect attendees and their luggage and bring them directly to the AmeCon Registrations building. This service will also run vice versa on Monday to take attendees and their luggage back to Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station. Operating times: TBC.
Internal Service
There will also be a seperate MiniBus running internally on campus, transporting attendees between Registrations and on-site accomodation blocks on Friday and Monday. While the on-site accommodation is only a short walk away, attendees with heavy luggage and bulky cosplay items may wish to take advantage of the internal service after collecting their room keys during Registration. This service will repeat in reverse on Monday to collect attendees and their luggage from the accommodation blocks and drop them off outside the Registrations area, where attendees can connect to the external ShuttleBus (as above) back to Stoke-on-Trent Station.
KUSU have also offered to run a late-night MiniBus service, transporting attendees from the Student Union building to the accomodation blocks.
Please note that all ShuttleBus services operate on a first-come first-served basis and there may be a high demand during peak times.
