Guests can catch events and panels with stars from Star Trek, The Mandalorian, The Umbrella Academy, The Flash, and The Expanse. The event offers photo ops and autograph signings with all your faves, plus a cosplay contest and karaoke among other items on the schedule. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Creation Entertainment, so they’re going all out and bringing fan conventions back in style.
Star Trek fans will be partying in honor of the 55th Anniversary of the franchise as the original series began on September 8, 1966. Special convention guest William Shatner starred, of course, as the iconic Captain Kirk, and he will be celebrating his 90th birthday year with those in attendance. A brand new documentary on Shatner’s amazing career will be screened during the convention.
