Hotels
Anime Weekend Atlanta is a 24 hour convention, starting Thursday and continuing through Sunday evening. To get the maximum fun out of the convention, avoid having to lug around 10lbs of swag you bought in the dealer’s room, and accommodate your 3 cosplay changes a day, you’re probably going to want to stay close by. To help you out with that, AWA has made agreements with local hotels to offer you the lowest rates available for the weekend AND include special concessions like free in-room wifi.
Accessibility
We want to make sure everyone has a great experience and the Accessibility Services Department is here to help make this convention warm and welcoming for all attendees. If you have accessibility or mobility concerns that make attending large events difficult, we would love to help you out!
In order to best accommodate your individual needs, we recommend emailing accessibility@awa-con.com before the convention so we can do our best to make sure you have the resources you need.
