A Celebration Light-Years in the Making

WHAT: The 40th anniversary of "Star Trek"

WHY : Gene Roddenberry's science-fiction show first aired on NBC on Sept. 8, 1966, while the United States was entrenched in Vietnam. The mandate: "To boldly go where no man has gone before." It's crowded there now: Six television series and 10 movies later, it's estimated that the "Star Trek" fan base is 250 million.

CONVENTIONS: Richard Arnold, who was Roddenberry's longtime personal assistant, has attended more than 850 conventions, and he predicts this year's bunch will be the best in years. Contrary to what you might think, he says, "only about 1 percent of fans show up in costumes." More historical context: Gary Berman, co-owner of Creation Entertainment, which runs sci-fi conventions, says tickets cost $1.50 and rooms $19 at his first "Trek" convention in 1971.

The partying starts Thursday at the official "Star Trek" convention at the Las Vegas Hilton. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy -- a.k.a. Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock -- will riff onstage about the "Trek" phenomenon. Tickets start at $40 (general admission).

Don't worry if you can't make it: Both actors will be at "Trek" celebrations in Chicago (Wyndham O'Hare, 6810 N. Mannheim Rd., Rosemont) and Sacramento (Doubletree Hotel, 2001 Point West Way). The two conventions are Sept. 8-10; tickets are $20 (general admission) to $199 and up (packages).

NYST40, the New York Area 40th Anniversary Star Trek Convention, runs Nov. 10-12 at the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel in Secaucus, N.J. Highlights include three starship captains (Shatner, Avery Brooks from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and Kate Mulgrew from "Star Trek: Voyager") and music video and centerpiece contests. Tickets: $25 (general admission) to $299 (packages).

Info on all three confabs: 818-409-0960, http://www.creationent.com.

A "Star Trek" gala atop Seattle's Space Needle -- where else? -- will be part of the Planet Xpo and the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame's festivities Sept. 8-10. Film producer Sky Douglas Conway says guests "will honor those influenced by 'Star Trek' who have gone on to change the world," including Martin Cooper, father of the cellphone. Walter Koenig (Chekov in the original series) will beam in for the gathering. Tickets: $25 (general admission) to $175 and up (packages). Info: 239-498-7821, http://www.planetxpo.com.

WAYS TO KEEP ON TREKKING: You can travel near or far to get your "Trek" fix this fall.

· Washington. The Smithsonian owns Tribbles (the furry critters that bedeviled Kirk & Co.) and phasers, but alas, they're not on display. You can see the starship USS Enterprise model used on the show at the National Air and Space Museum, on the lower level of its store. Spokesman Peter Golkin says the 200-pound, 11-foot-long ship is mostly wood. The store itself stocks a "Star Trek" cookbook, trivia book, encyclopedia and "The Physics of Star Trek."

· New York. Want a used Romulan warbird (estimated value $8,000 to $12,000) or mustard Starfleet mini-dress worn in the original series ($4,000 to $6,000)? From Oct. 5 to 7, Christie's at Rockefeller Center will auction 4,000 "Star Trek" items -- ranging from the original series to the recent "Star Trek: Nemesis" movie. The 6 1/2 -foot Enterprise-D model ($25,000 to $35,000) might bankrupt you, but a Borg head is expected to go for $600 to $800. You can pay $25 to preview the items, or buy a catalogue ($90) and get two tickets to the auction. Info: 800-395-6300, http://www.christies.com.

· Las Vegas. Visit Star Trek: The Experience, an interactive museum ($38.99) at the Las Vegas Hilton. The Borg Invasion ride? Mandatory. Vulcan wedding vow renewal? Optional. Info: 888-462-6535, http://www.startrekexp.com.

· Seattle. The Science Fiction Museum ($12.95) holds Captain Kirk's command chair, Dr. McCoy's medical scanner and about 25 phasers. Info: 206-724-3428, http://www.sfhomeworld.org.

· Worldwide. Cruise Trek (http://www.cruisetrek.com) runs annual fan cruises with former cast members. The next cruise, in fall 2007, will be a two-week trip to Australia and New Zealand and will cost about $2,500 per person double (airfare extra).

FILM SITES: Though Russ Haslage -- president of the International Federation of Trekkers, a 1,230-member fan club -- told us, "There aren't really any ['Trek'] pilgrimage sites like Lourdes," fans can visit spots where filming on the series or movies took place. Sites glimpsed on screen include:

{scheck} Franklin Canyon Reservoir in L.A.'s Santa Monica Mountains was the planet Amerind in the original series' "Paradise Syndrome" episode.

{scheck} The film "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" has shots of California's Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park (in Agua Dulce), Monterey Bay Aquarium (in Monterey) and Will Rogers State Historic Park (in L.A.).

{scheck} California's Sierra Nevadas, especially Convict Lake near Mammoth Lakes, and Lake Sabrina can be seen in the film "Star Trek: Insurrection."

{scheck} In Overton, Nev., Silica Dome in Valley of Fire State Park (northeast of Las Vegas) was the surface of Viridian 3, where James T. Kirk became history in the film "Star Trek: Generations."

THE ONE THING WE'D DO . . . is to get lost inside the USS Enterprise or a giant Spock's head. Tom Pearcy has sculpted 32 acres of corn on his farm near York, England, into a "Trek" maze ($10.50). It's up through Sept. 10. Info: http://www.yorkmaze.co.uk.

INFORMATION : There is no shortage of Web sites by show devotees. Standouts include the International Federation of Trekkers, http://www.iftcommand.com, which bills itself as the ultimate fandom site. Others include http://www.startrek.com, http://www.trektoday.comand http://www.trekunited.com.

Conventions FAQ

What's a tv show / movie convention .

A convention is an event that usually takes place during two or three days and is dedicated to one or more anime, TV show(s), comics or movie(s).

Organized mainly by fans associations, conventions give fans the opportunity to participate in Q&A with the actors, take pictures with them, get autographs or spend a moment with them during a Meet & Greet.

A TV show, anime, comics or movie convention, is also the opportunity to participate to many activities during the event : quizz, lottery, karaoke... while meeting new people.

They also allow fans to chat with one another about a same center of interest and to return home with a lot of unforgettable memories.

How to participate in a convention ?

To attend a convention, you must purchase a pass from the convention organizer's ticketing website. Passes can give you access to one or more days, depending on which one you choose.

It's important to remember that you can't enter the convention without a pass.

In addition to passes, organizers sell extras for activities with guests. These may include photo ops, autograph sessions, meet and greets, and so on. These must be purchased in addition to the pass. If you bought extras without a pass, you won't be able to do them, and you've wasted money.

Maintenance notice: Our event ticketing system is undergoing upgrades until 12pm PDT Wednesday October 10th. Our event pages, like the one you are reading, will remain accessible during this time.

FAN FAVORITE ATTRACTIONS:

SPECIAL EVENTS

2020 marks the 49th year that we’ve been proud to present convention gatherings for our fellow fans in North America. It’s been a wonderful ride that allowed us to enjoy our love of the genre with others who share that passion. We’ve tried to follow the beliefs of our mentor Gene Roddenberry by creating events that present a positive view of the future celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. We hope you join us in Las Vegas for our 19th Annual Star Trek Convention as the human adventure continues. As the decades past for our company we’ve taken our experiences to provide what we believe is the absolute best presentation for fans. Unlike so many other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict policy not to "oversell" our conventions. In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place. Because of this process of not overselling we have a huge vendors room where it is possible to easily check out each booth without fighting seam-busting crowds. Close the doors on the outside world and join thousands of like-minded fans to honor Gene’s vision for the future while partying like it is 2364!

Here is some pertinent information for you to have about Creation’s conventions, certain policies and more. ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE All guests and scheduling are tentative and subject to change. Creation Entertainment does not advertise any talent without written permission from the talent or their representation.   Please do not come for just one actor.  Our events are a celebration of the series and multiple actors from the show attend. If we have a cancelation, we will do our best to book a replacement or we will provide our Gold/Silver patrons with a pre-signed photo of the actor not in attendance if the canceled actor was signing for Gold/Silver. In the event of a guest cancellation or a date change:  ALL GUESTS are contracted to appear and all convention contracts specify that appearances are tentative and subject to change as film and television work demands take precedence as well as a personal conflict. Our events will take place whether a specific guest cancels or not and therefore we cannot issue admission pass refunds if a particular guest is not able to attend. If a guest must cancel their appearance at the convention, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for any refunds other than the a la carte specific-to-the-guest autograph or photo op tickets as another guest will be booked as a replacement in signing for Gold/Silver or a pre-signed photo will be provided if a replacement signer is not possible. Also, in the extremely rare chance that an actor does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops (which has only happened in a hand full of cases due to something out of our control), we will only be responsible for the refund of the a la carte autograph or photo op ticket if not redeemed. We will refund or issue a credit voucher only for a la carte photo ops and autograph tickets for a specific actor if they cancel.  Creation is also not be held responsible for any financial loss associated with the purchase of air tickets or hotel rooms that are not canceled (virtually all hotels offer a 24 or 48-hour cancelation policy, so there should be no jeopardy associated with reservations).  We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance for any unforeseen issues. Disease and Illness Disclaimer:  By using your admission pass, you recognize that disease and illness, including, but not limited to, the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the common cold, may be spread through interaction with other people.  Creation Events programs may be attended by many, sometimes numbering in the hundreds.  Social distancing and other measures at these events is very difficult, if not impossible, to practice and enforce.  Therefore, you agree that you will not purchase an event admission pass if you know you have symptoms of COVID-19 or any other communicable disease or illness, or you have a high risk of contracting or suffering from one, and you certify that you do not have any reason to believe that you have been exposed to or could be a carrier of any disease or illness.  If you do attend, you agree that you will take all possible steps to protect your health and the health of others attending the event.  You further agree that, by using an admission pass and attending, you thereby waive any claim of liability you might make against Creation Entertainment, Inc. or its officers, directors, employees and agents as a result of your contracting disease or illness from attending one of our events, and you agree that you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Creation Entertainment, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any loss that any of them may suffer or be obligated to pay as a result of any claim that may be made against any of them by others, as a result of your attending the event, including, but not limited to, legal damages, attorney's fees and court costs.  If you are unsure of your status, please consult with your doctor before purchasing an event admission pass. You further agree that should Creation Events in its sole opinion believe that you may pose a threat to the health of others, it may deny you admission or request that you leave the event and that you understand and accept all risks that your attendance may encounter. This convention is intended for adults.  On stage appearances by our guests may include off-color or inappropriate humor and profanity. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult who is aware of the potential content. The views and opinions expressed by any talent or participant at, or during the convention are those of the authors and/or the persons appearing on stage, and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Creation Entertainment, LLC or any of their affiliated parties. Harassment at events:  Creation does not tolerate any forms of harassment or bullying at its events. The company’s complete policy is stated on each schedule of events that is handed out at each convention. If you witness bad behavior at an event, immediately notify the contact listed on the rules page of your printed schedule and there is Creation staff present at all times. We cannot do anything about complaints that come after the event is over. Team Members:  We are so grateful and fortunate to have the support of our Team Members, whose continued efforts and dedication help make our conventions possible.  They are available to assist you with any questions you may have about convention events and activities, however if you have an issue, please ask to speak to Management on-site.  Check your schedule rules page to see which manager is on-site at your specific event. If you would like to submit an application to be considered as a Team Member, please visit our Jobs/Team Members section of our website by clicking here. For those attending our conventions and making travel plans:  Please know that many of the headliners who appear onstage on Sunday usually do so towards the later part of the day. Autograph signings can run into the evening until 9:00PM-10:00PM. For those traveling from out of town, we suggest staying over until Monday in order to get your autographs and the full convention experience. Creation is not responsible for any costs associated with travel for any attendee. We highly suggest you purchase travel insurance in the event that anything should happen.   We are not responsible for orders that are rejected during processing:  On rare occasion, an error may occur during the ordering process that can require the order to be resubmitted. This can include: Incomplete form submission (usually caused by not completing the entire ordering process to the very end); Credit card failures (usually caused when there are not enough funds in an account or the credit card company rejects the charge for any number of reasons including out of state, international or unfamiliar ordering to the customers’ general pattern); or system errors during transmission of the order.  We suggest buying admission passes and a la carte tickets only through this website:  Because all PDFs are scanned for use at the convention, we can ONLY allow the first person in using each singular PDF. Autograph and photo op PDFs are also scanned for one-time use. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! Tickets that are not valid or deemed fraudulent will not be accepted.  All admission pass and a la carte ticket prices are subject to change at any time, so please order as early as possible.  Admission pass packages do not include photo ops:  Photo ops must be purchased separately on this website or at the convention (if not sold out).  NOTE:  You may buy an a la carte Autograph and/or Photo Op ticket(s) before buying an Admission pass, but you need an Admission pass for the day of your Autograph or Photo Op in order to use the Autograph and Photo Op tickets at the convention (unless the guest has changed days). Please buy an Admission pass for the day of your Photo Op or Autograph as soon as you can as we can’t guarantee Admission passes won't sell out before the show. Please, absolutely, do not ask for exceptions to this rule.    Alcoholic beverages at the convention:  At most of our events, we do not allow alcohol to be present in our function rooms, including the main theatre. This includes daily panel events, meet & greets and any night events. Water stations will be available in the room. We reserve the right to perform bag checks at any time. We reserve the right to deny entrance into any of the events to anyone who appears intoxicated. If there is an instance of alcoholic beverages sold, your ID will be checked by the bartender and any underage customers will not be served any alcoholic beverages.

Star Trek Presence at Science Fiction Cons

Star Trek programmng first appeared at general science fiction conventions .

The earliest known Star Trek presence was the September 1-5, 1966 "Tricon World Science Fiction Convention" in Cleveland, Ohio. Gene Roddenberry attended, and he promoted his Star Trek series which was going to air the following week. Roddenberry showed con attendees the first two pilot episodes for the series, "The Cage" (uncut original version) and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (revised version, as this episode was already slated to air).

Another early Star Trek presence was also at FunCon in 1968:

The Statler Hilton, downtown L.A. hosted Chuck Crayne's FunCon and was surely a hallmark in Star Trek history. Not only did the bloopers finally get shown in their entirety before a completely fannish audience, but Roddenberry brought an amazing assortment of props and costumes from the show. He was also giving away packets of film clips . To top if off, a surprise guest was William ("I just want to thank Mr. Roddenberry for hiring me") Shatner. Another plus at the con was a performance of "H.M.S. Trek-A-Star" a clever Trek-oriented play with Jerry Jacks, Poul, Karen and Astrid Anderson. [1]

The Very First All-Star Trek Con

Though it's commonly thought that the first 'Star Trek' convention was held in 1972 at a Hilton hotel in Manhattan, according to die-hard 'Trek' historians the first one actually took place in March 1969 at the Newark Public Library . Organized by librarian Sherna Comerford Burley , the low-key, celebrity-free event featured slide shows of 'Trek' aliens, skits and a fan panel to discuss 'The Star Trek Phenomenon.' [2]

The First Major Star Trek Cons

For much more see: Star Trek Lives! .

The first major Star Trek convention, Star Trek Lives! , run by Joan Winston and others, was held in New York in 1972 and drew 3,000 people. The 1973 convention drew 6,000, and in 1974, 15,000 people attended and 6,000 more were turned away at the door. These cons vied to have the largest number of professional guest stars.

The 1975 Star Trek Convention was one of transition. First, there was a split in leadership with Devra Langsam becoming chair, stating that this con's association with Al Schuster was finished. This con also promised to limit membership to 8000.

From a flyer in Probe #1:

from the flyer in Probe #1 EVERYTHING'S THE SAME… Except the name. Recently we decided to change our name. So, we dropped the "International" and we are now THE STAR TREK CONVENTION. We're pleased to announce Devra Langsam as our new chairman, as we do it again... ONE MORE TIME!.. WE ARE PLANNING TO LIMIT MEMBERSHIP TO 8,000 SO REGISTER EARLY! Last year's attendance was 15,000….This is to inform you that the committee members of THE STAR TREK CONVENTION, formerly associated with the International Star Trek Convention, hereby state their complete and total disassociation with Mr. Albert Schuster. Any and all future debts he may incur in the name of our Convention will not be paid or honored by us, and he no longerhas any authority to incur expenses, arrange contracts, or conduct business in the name of our Convention.

The Rise and Fall of the Star Trek Supercon

The first major Star Trek cons, the ones with celebrity guests, were huge affairs; fun for some, much less so for others. After a number of these monster supercons, attendance began to dwindle. Some people felt this was because the market was saturated, that even the ravenous hunger fans had for these gatherings began to fade. Others pointed to the kind of fans that attended different kinds of cons; many Star Trek fans complained that the large, for-profit cons were so big that they never got to do what they really wanted to, which was to see talk and interact with other fans on a more meaningful level. Some fans complained of cons being overrun by casual fans that asked the same shallow questions over and over again and added little depth to interactions. Some fans resented the hefty prices cons were charging, and they resented the increasing amount of hucksters selling inferior goods and ripping them off.

From an editorial in The Hole in the Deck Gang Newsletter #10 in 1976 regarding the ST con in NYC in February 1976:

Not a whole lot happened at TSTC 5 that never happens at any other supercon ; in fact, there was less: fewer stars, fewer crowds, shorter lines, just as many dealers though. Because of this... the con was more friendly, more relaxed. There were more room parties , because fen could make contact in the lessoned mob. Gofers were not run as ragged and hence came nowhere to their collective breaking point. Things ran on time. David Gerrold was human. And a lot of other unexpected things. I suppose the economics, and the Economy, did in the ST con, more than any other cause. The concom never did make any money on any of the cons -- nobody ever does on supercons , not once all the bills are in. The cost of running a con has increased incredibly; the actors, the film distributors, the hotel managers, all figure they want a piece of the con pie, and they charge accordingly. The result is ever larger membership fees and ever more burgeoning attendance counts to pay for the whole schmear. If a fan wants to hold a con these days, she has a choice between a circus and her closet. It's hard to hold attendance 'down' to 5000. The 3rd NY Con went to 17,000, remember? The 4th would have been more than its 8000, save that attendance was limited and that ISTC ran a month before... And so all things come to an end. Some of the best cons are fannish history. Only a few faded programs, an illegible autograph (Eugene who?), a tear-stained hotel bill remain. And some of the landmarks are disappearing. The Commodore, bane of hu-fanity, has been razed. No more will ash trays and water bombs plummet down its roof. With the destruction of the twelfth floor goes the 30-minute wait to change elevators. Lost are the haunts of the leering pilots and Greek-speaking stewardi, the computer reservation system that charged eight days in the bridal suite to your account, the blue plastic lobby furniture. No more will Mr. Gerrold's dulcet voice selling original xeroxed scripts boom over the whining PA system, no more will Devra Langsam trip over curled carpets, no more will Ike Asimov drool over nubile, young trekkies , no more will the committee crud be caught from the drinking water. It is the End of an Era.

Star Trek Fan-Run Conventions

The first media fan-run cons (small, no guest stars, no profit) were ReKWest*Con in July 1975 and August Party in August 1975. While not specifically Star Trek, by default of its time, that show featured heavily.

This first con that would become MediaWest*Con was called T'Con and held in 1978 at the Lansing Hilton Inn. It was organized by Lori Chapek-Carleton and Gordon Carleton , who were zine publishers. The convention was formally re-established as MediaWest*Con in 1981. It also had a strong Star Trek presence. In 1991 for the show's 25th anniversary, Star Trek Canada: The Active Fan Network held a special one-day convention, The 25th Anniversary Gala

British Star Trek Conventions

Star Trek conventions in the UK have a long and illustrious past (and present?)

The very, very first British Star Trek convention was held in 1974. Like its American counterpart, which was an afternoon event held at a public library , the very first British Star Trek con was held in a church hall. "I suppose that was the first real convention, People came from the length and breadth of Britain, all for a one day of slide shows , talks, and friendships." [3]

After that first con, fans became quite organized and began a series of conventions, each with its own number. These conventions, voted on by fans two years in advance, lasted until the fifty-first convention which was held in 2001.

For more information, see:

• The British Star Trek Convention , a long-running series of cons, each with its own number
• The British Star Trek Convention , the first two cons in the long-running series, the first in 1974 and the second in 1975

Other European Cons

[need some info]

Australasian Cons

AussieTrek in Sydney, featuring George Takei , was the first major Star Trek con in Australia in 1979. The year before, a small one-day event, TrekCon , had been held in Melbourne.

In New Zealand, a major convention with a large proportion of Star Trek content was the science fiction media convention , ConVERGE , in 1988 in Wanganui. Its featured guest was David Gerrold .

Star Trek Cruise Conventions

Another kind of con unique to Star Trek was the cruise convention , for-profit cruises that combined travel and fannish activities. See flyer and SeaTrek .

Star Trek Conventions

Star Trek Lives! was one of the earliest and most influential Star Trek conventions . It was fan -run, with many members of the committee also active in the Lunarians and working on Lunacon . The convention was also known as the Star Trek Con , the Committee Con and as the International Star Trek Convention .

• 5.1 New York Star Trek '76

1972 [ edit ]

The first convention by this group was held January 21–23, 1972, at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Manhattan and included as guests Gene Roddenberry, Majel Barrett, Isaac Asimov , Hal Clement and D. C. Fontana. The organizers expected 500 people, but 3,000 showed up leaving the committee alive, but overwhelmed.

The committee was:

• Al Schuster , Co-ordinator
• Elyse Pines , Program
• Joan Winston , Dealers Room , NASA Display, Signs
• Eileen Becker , Registration
• Allan Asherman , Art Show
• Deborah Langsam , Costume Call
• Joyce Yasner , Displays
• Devra Langsam , Slide Shows, Program Asst.
• Regina Gottesman , Hospitality
• Steve Rosenstein , Auctioneer , MC
• Stu Hellinger , Program Assistant
• Chris Steinbrunner / Chester Grabowski , Visuals

1973 [ edit ]

In 1973, the convention moved to the Commodore Hotel and attracted approximately 10,000 people to its convention on February 16–19.

Members of the committee for the 1973 convention were: Joan Winston , Elyse Rosenstein , Allen Asherman , Eileen Becker , Steve Rosenstein , Dana Anderson , Thom Anderson , Renee Bodner , Stu Hellinger , Devra Langsam , Deborah Langsam , Eileen Becker , Maureen Wilson , Joyce Yasner and Al Schuster . In later years, Barbara Wenk , Wendy Lindboe , Louise Sachter , Stuart Grossman , Claire Eddy , Diane Duane and David Simmons joined the committee.

1974 [ edit ]

International Star Trek Convention On February 15–18, 1974, the convention attracted between 10,000 and 14,000 people ( Locus reports 8,000-12,000) to the Americana Hotel, and and had to turn people away each day due to Fire Marshall concerns — causing at least one small riot in front of the hotel. There were complaints about the crush and the bad attitude of some committee members (a walk-out from the costume ball was triggered by a committee member cursing at one of the invited guests).

The problems in New York caused Equicon in Los Angeles to impose a membership cap.

The committee fissioned, leaving records in disarray. Shortly after the convention, the committee announced that they no longer had any connection with Al Schuster and "and and all future debts he may incur in the name of the Convention will not be paid or honored, and he no longer has any authority to incur expenses, arrange contracts or conduct business in the name of the convention." They also distinguished themselves as __The__ Star Trek Convention as opposed to Schuster 's __International__ Star Trek Convention . They also reported that they had "misplaced" their list of non-attending members in the 1974 convention and pre-registered members of the 1975 convention.

1975 [ edit ]

The 1975 convention at the Commodore Hotel was held February 14–17 and was chaired by Devra Langsam and was now called the Star Trek Convention . (Former chairman Al Schuster had started a rival convention running a month earlier which kept the name International Star Trek Convention .)

1976 [ edit ]

In 1976, the giant Star Trek conventions seemed to hit a wall: The Chicago Star Trek/Space Spectacular, "The Greatest Show Since Earth" was held in June. The committee did heavy advertising including TV spots, and had rented the Chicago Amphitheater, which seats 13,000. The got 200 people on Friday and 800 on Saturday and then cancelled the convention. They did not pay the stars who came and the convention was reported to have lost multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Other Star Trek conventions that failed in 1976 included the Boston Star Trek convention in April, a Tampa convention in June, and a Toledo Star Trek convention . The Toronto Star Trek convention lost money and the New York Star Trek Roast was cancelled "for lack of interest".

New York Star Trek '76 [ edit ]

New York Star Trek '76 attracted between 20,000 and 50,000 people according to the New York Times with many ticket holders being turned away when the facilities were completely swamped. (Its committee seems to have been entirely unprepared and quite disorganized.) The New York Attorney General investigated and both fan -run conventions ended.

Fanlore entry .

This had a fortunate side-effect in that it probably helped to kill the SF Expo , a convention planned for June of that year at the New York Hilton which was an attempt to create a regular SF convention on the scale of the Star Trek conventions.

Trekkies Celebrate 'Star Trek' Anniversary At NYC Convention

September 2, 2016 / 12:44 PM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) --  "Star Trek" fans are celebrating the franchise's 50th anniversary at a weekend-long convention in Manhattan.

Star Trek: Missions kicked off at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Friday and runs through Sunday.

The convention features interactive exhibits, a cosplay contest, and appearances by William Shatner, Walter Koenig, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and more. The U.S. Postal Service is also getting in on the fun, launching a special "Star Trek Forever" stamp series.

Trekkie Craig said he was just 10 years old when he sat down with his father to watch the original "Star Trek" series with its parables about politics and morality, 1010 WINS' Roger Stern reported.

"The chemistry and the writing of the scripts was just really something that wasn't on television prior," he said.

But it lasted only three years. Who would've guessed it would lead to 13 movies and five more series, the latest of which is set to premiere in January 2017 on CBS All Access, Stern reported.

A Trekkie from Kansas City said "Star Trek" will live long, and prosper.

"In 25 years we'll be here for the 75th anniversary," she said.

For ticket information and full list of events visit the  Star Trek: Missions  website.
