THE VENUE: MICE 2022 will be held at the Fuller Building at Boston University (808 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA). The Exhibition area and Panel Rooms are on the Ground Floor, and Workshops take place on the 4th Floor.
GETTING HERE BY MBTA: Taking the T or bus to MICE is encouraged and convenient as our venue is steps from the Boston University Central T stop on the Green Line B. Once you arrive at Boston University Central, cross Commonwealth Ave toward St Mary’s Street and walk a block east to our venue. Complete information on bus, subway, and commuter rail schedules is available on the MBTA web site.
PARKING: MICE is a weekend event with an average of 2000 attendees per day so parking is extremely limited. Exhibitors and early birds may find parking at Boston University’s Lot F directly below our venue with hourly rates. The neighborhood does offer 2 hour street parking on Commonwealth Ave. and Beacon St. We encourage attendees to use public transportation if possible.

- MICE is known for kid-friendly comics which are spread throughout the exhibition hall. Typically, look for the balloons for kid-friendly material or just ask the creator. MICE also has kid-friendly workshops, usually on Sunday, which are listed in the show map.
- Every year, MICE awards 'MICE Mini-Grants' for the best in indie comics. You can find a list of winners at the welcome desk. Then hurry to get your copies of these award-winning comics, as they usually sell out every show.
