Hey there, fellow space enthusiasts! We’re just around the corner from a truly exciting time in Murfreesboro, Tennessee as the *Trek it Nashville* convention prepares to land at the Embassy Suites from September 13 to September 15, 2024. If you’re a fan of *Star Trek* and all things intergalactic, you won’t want to miss out on this cosmic gathering!
Buckle up for an unforgettable experience as *Trek it Nashville* brings together some incredible guests this year. The event’s headliner is none other than Tennessean Anson Mount, known for his role as Captain Christopher Pike in *Discovery*. Other stars making appearances include Ethan Peck, who portrays the one and only *Spock* from *Strange New Worlds*, and Sonequa Martin-Green, famed for her role as *Michael Burnham* in *Discovery*. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
This convention isn’t just a random event thrown together. 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.
Always wanted to dive deeper into the mysteries of the universe? This convention has you covered with three full days of cosmic fun! Expect an array of activities from engaging star panel discussions where you can hear firsthand insights from your favorite cast members, to trivia games that will test your *Star Trek* knowledge.
The excitement doesn’t end there! Get ready to show off your creativity during the highly anticipated *cosplay contest* happening on Saturday. Channel your inner Klingon or Channel your inner Vulcan, and join in the festivities! Plus, if you’ve ever wanted to belt out your favorite *Star Trek* tunes, there will be *Karaoke* for those looking to hit the high notes. How fun is that?
The convention also features science panels, which delve into interesting topics like the mysteries of the Milky Way. Dive deep into science, listen to experts, and learn something new! If you’re more of a collector, there’s a *no minimum bid auction* featuring rare collectibles that’ll excite any fan or collector.
You won’t leave empty-handed either! Make sure to stop by the vendors’ booths where you’ll find unique merchandise that you can’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s memorabilia, apparel, or art, there’s sure to be something special waiting for you.
As if all this wasn’t enough, how about a photo op with your favorite stars? Available for an additional fee, you’ll get a moment to capture those memories with the actors. A single ticket allows up to two fans! It’s a great chance to get a photo you can cherish forever.
