Skokie, IL – December 12, 2014 – Mego Museum in conjunction with Aw Yeah Comics is pleased to announce that Mego Meet 2015 will be held June 5th and 6th at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago – North Shore Conference Center.

The move to Skokie, IL. will allow for easy access for those travelling by plane, as well as provide a myriad of options for family entertainment.
