**We have updated our ADA Policies to align with Industry Standards as of July 1, 2024. Please note these changes.**
ATL Comic Convention strives to create an inclusive and friendly environment for all attendees. We are happy to provide various services to help you enjoy your experience!
ADA companions, including PCA handlers, are expected to purchase tickets to the event.
We offer several different ADA accommodations.
Parking
ATL Comic Convention does not have reserved parking for the event. However, Convention Parking is a great resource for finding handicap-accessible lots near the Convention Center.
Registration
To pick up your wristband for the event, an ADA registration area will be available for those needing attendees needing that service. Please have your QR codes ready from your email confirmations. Elevators are available for your use. The location at the World Congress Center TBA
ADA Registration will accept Cash, Credit Cards, and your QR Code from your email confirmation for wristbands at this location.
ATL Comic Convention provides Medical wristbands to individuals with accessibility needs.
This wristband identifies you to staff, crew, and security and indicates that you may need more help.
**Please note that the Medical wristband does not provide admission; you must have a valid ticket. The Medical wristband does not provide early access to the show nor guarantees seating or priority access to any areas of the show.**

ADA Waiting Areas At the Convention
Grand Ballroom: We will do our best to keep groups together; however, if space is limited, you may be asked to limit your group to just one additional person. If you are using a wheelchair, you will be assigned to one of several designated sections located throughout the Ballroom. If the panel requires a ticket to enter, the same is expected for ADA.
*Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so ADA seating may only be available if you arrive at the last minute to get to the room.
In Photo Ops, we will keep your group together. When the celebrity or group is ready, ADA groups will be given special consideration to enter, as space permits. After you get your Photo Op and pick up the print, you can leave the Photo Op area! If you are using a wheelchair and would like to stand for your Photo Op, you can request to have the wheelchair moved out of the picture and returned to you when the photo is complete. You may have four (4) people per Photo Op. Babies under one year do not count.
4. Celebrity Row/Autographs. Unfortunately, we cannot allow priority signings at the conventions. Given the limited time guests are available for signing, fans cannot use lines other than what they are ticketed for. Please line up according to your ticket type.
We recommend that someone within your group wait in line for you. When your group reaches the front line, you may rejoin them for your signing.
Portable stools are also recommended.
Lines are wheelchair and scooter accessible and may be used while you wait in line.
If you would like to get a “selfie” with the celebrity, and they allow it, a crew member or your companion can use your phone to take a picture of you. *Please check that photo before you leave the table*.
ASL Interpreters
At the ATL Comic Convention, we're dedicated to inclusivity. We offer ASL interpreting services to our deaf and hearing-impaired fans.
Grand Ballroom Panels: ASL interpreting will be available in the Grand Ballroom (our main celebrity panel room) for all panels without prior request.
Other Panels & Activities: Our ASL interpreters are available at a limited capacity. ATL Comic Convention can accommodate requests up to two weeks before the convention’s start date. Because of the demand for interpreters, we cannot guarantee the ability to accommodate requests made after that time via email or on-site. **Please note the dates and times of the event can change. We will do our best to honor your request and email with any changes.**
If you would like to request an interpreter in advance, please fill out this form at least two weeks before the convention's first day.
Harassment Policy
During the event, anyone who witnesses a violation of the Zero Tolerance Harassment Policy should report it to one of our convention crew staff, security, or a staff member recognizable by the staff badge they wear at all times.
Wheelchair Reservation
There is no longer a rental service for wheelchairs or scooters at the convention center. Please make arrangements with a local rental company before the event.

Service Dogs
Only service dogs will be allowed at the Convention Center. According to state and federal law, a “service animal” is any dog that is trained, or is in training, to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability; and performs work or tasks, or is in training to perform work or tasks, that are directly related to the individual’s disability. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered. If the dog is out of control and the handler does not effectively control it or is not housebroken, the handler will be asked to remove the service animal from the premises.
If you need help with other service dogs or their handlers, please speak with a convention crew member and ask them to contact a staff member. Our goal is to provide a safe experience for all our guests.
Emotional support animals are not allowed at this time.
