It has a rich history dating all the way back to two young Trekkies who interviewed *Star Trek* creator Gene Roddenberry for their fanzine at just 15 years old. That passion has transformed over the years, culminating in what we see today – a thriving national tour that began in sunny San Francisco. “We have been proud to honor the philosophy of Roddenberry,” the event organizers share, emphasizing their mission to promote a safe and welcoming space for all fans who share the community’s values of diversity and inclusion.
