Making The Dreams Come True
Naru2u started off in November 14-16 2008 at the Travel Lodge Hotel on Carling Ave, in Ottawa Ontario, Canada
​
Naru2U was founded by the owner of Naru's Sound and Lighting, Michael "Naru" Zwicker, after the announcement that the Ottawa area convention AC-Cubed was taking a one-year break. Naru's Sound and Lighting, having provided a large portion of AV equipment to AC-Cubed, was contacted by numerous interested parties proposing for a convention to fill the void during AC-Cubed's one year hiatus. With the successful first year of Naru2U and the subsequent announcement that AC-Cubed would not be returning to the Ottawa area convention scene, Naru2U had grown from a one-time convention to a permanent yearly fixture in Ottawa.

Naru2u 2010
November 12-14 2010
​
We changed our name from "Naru2u" to "N2U" as fans were getting us confused with just being a "Natruo" only convention. As much as we like Natruo we also like all the other anime as well.
