Creation Brings Back Regional Star Trek Conventions Starting In San Francisco This Weekend, Chicago In Fall

| March 5, 2024 | By: Anthony Pascale 25 comments so far

Creation Entertainment has been running Star Trek conventions since its founding in the 1970s. At its peak in the ’80s, Creation was operating over 100 Trek cons every year all across the USA. That number was pared down until the most recent decade when they focused on a single big Star Trek con every year in Las Vegas, but that is all about to change.

In 2024, Creation is returning to regional events for what they are now calling the “Trek Tour,” starting with the “ STSF: Trek To San Francisco ” convention from Friday, March 8 to Sunday, March 10 at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA. TrekMovie talked to Creation co-founder Gary Berman about the San Francisco event, this year’s big Las Vegas con, and more regional “Trek Tour” cons across the USA coming up.

Trek to San Francisco

For years, Creation has been looking to bring back local Trek conventions. Berman told TrekMovie: “We wanted to bring the best of Las Vegas to these regional cities.” It’s been years since Creation held a Star Trek con in San Francisco, but the company has continued to run other conventions there, like one for Vampire Diaries fans. This weekend’s STSF con is being held in the same location, which was used in the past for Trek conventions as well. “It’s a nice hotel for this, very cool and futuristic-looking,” says Berman.

STSF has lined up 32 guests for this weekend from across the Star Trek franchise, including classic headliners like Brent Spiner, John de Lancie, and Gates McFadden from Star Trek: The Next Generation , Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo from  Voyager , Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer from Enterprise , and Jeffrey Combs and Casey Biggs from Deep Space Nine . They are also bringing in luminaries from the new shows, including Michelle Hurd and Todd Stashwick from Picard and Tawny Newsome, Eugene Cordero, and Dawnn Lewis from Lower Decks . There are also big names from behind the scenes, including Picard showrunner Terry Matalas and production designer Dave Blass. Melissa Navia from Strange New Worlds will be there, but Ethan Peck just had to cancel as he was needed on the set in Toronto. Berman said they expect to have more Strange New Worlds stars at upcoming events when the show isn’t in production.

Hey San Francisco! I will be joining @JeriLRyan @TerryMatalas and my other #StarTrek Family this weekend at ST:SF Trek to San Francisco https://t.co/H7u22BubvQ pic.twitter.com/kSE2NOXq4t — Todd Stashwick (@ToddStashwick) March 4, 2024

The regional events are designed to be more intimate than the bigger show in Las Vegas. The goal is for STSF and other regional Trek Tour cons to have the celebrity guests be “interactive with the audience and make it more fun for the fans,” according to Berman. This will include special events like wine tasting with Casey Biggs, karaoke with Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer, and an after-party on Saturday night at the Holo Lounge bar with Prodigy’s Bonnie Gordon singing jazz. Gordon is co-hosting the weekend along with Ryan Husk of The 7th Rule podcast. Gordon and Husk are also hosting a welcome party on Thursday. Husk tells TrekMovie: “I think the intimacy and special events of this new regional convention tour is going to be incredibly fun, and I’m extremely excited for it.”

The convention will also feature a vendors room, science panels, Trek insider panels (including 2 with Ande Richardson Kindryd, TOS producer Gene Coon’s assistant), trivia contests, daily cosplaying themes, and a cosplay contest. Of course, there are also autograph and photo ops. There will be group options, including one themed to Star Trek: Picard season 3 with Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Jeri Ryan, Michelle Hurd, and Terry Matalas.

STSF is expected to sell out, but there are still limited tickets available ranging from weekend General Admission passes for $169 to Gold passes (starting at $549) with reserved seating, autographs, and more bonuses. There are also single-day passes ($60) with only a handful left for Saturday. Berman is enthusiastic about the return to San Francisco for Trek and he offers his thanks to the fans, saying “I think we’re all feeling super appreciative to everyone for supporting San Francisco.” Tickets are also available for the Saturday night “Rat Pack” concert with Max Grodénchik, Jeffrey Combs, Casey Biggs, Ethan Phillips, and Vaughn Armstrong.

Revamped Rio for STLV 2024

The next stop for the Trek Tour in 2024 will be the big event in Las Vegas, now officially dubbed “STLV,” with Creation dropping the “58-Year Mission” branding. The event will be held August 1-4 at the Rio in Las Vegas. They have already lined up 39 guests. with headliners including William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, Nana Visitor, Tawny Newsome, Connor Trinneer, Paul Wesley, and Ethan Peck. Many more are expected to be added to match last year’s count of over 100 guests. They are already setting up some special events including a “Broadway to the Stars” show with Discovery  stars Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz.

One highlight for 2024 will be the venue itself, as the Rio Hotel is under new management. New owners Dreamscape have partnered with Hyatt, making the Rio part of the World of Hyatt. The Rio is currently undergoing extensive renovations . The first phase of the $340 million transformation will be completed this year and includes upgrades to the exterior, lobby, pool area, casino, and dining options . They are also upgrading the rooms in the 1,501-room Ipanema tower. “The renovation is turning out to be much better and bigger than I originally thought,” says Gary Berman. Dreamscape has also added more staff to accommodate large groups like STLV. Berman says Creation has a “great relationship” with the new owners who see “STLV as important to the Rio,” with plans to keep STLV at the Rio in upcoming years.

Even though it is months away, Berman says tickets are selling fast. For more on STLV 2024, visit creationent.com .

Trek Tour heads to Chicago and beyond

It is the success of STLV that has Creation looking beyond Las Vegas again. Berman tells TrekMovie “Attendance was wonderful last year and the feedback was excellent. That is one of the reasons San Francisco is going so well is word of mouth.” With San Francisco looking to be a sellout, Creation is setting its sights on the future. “Our goal is to roll out a whole tour and do 12 Trek Tour shows a year, like we do for Supernatural .”

Berman revealed the next stop on that tour will be in Chicago. They have already lined up October 25-27, 2024 for an event at the Westin O’Hare Hotel. [ UPDATE: Due to conflicts with wanted celebrities on the weekend of October 25, Creation will be moving the Chicago event to a different date. A new date for Chicago will be announced soon.]

The 2024 Chicago Trek Tour should be launched on their website after the STSF with the initial list of guests and events. According to Berman, they will be looking for lessons learned in San Francisco t help shape this next regional event.

Even though Creation gave up the official Star Trek convention license in 2020, they remain committed to the franchise that got the company started in the 1970s. Berman sums things up with “We are really happy with the state of Star Trek fan conventions.”

STLV 2024 Levels Up With Big Celebrity Guests And ‘Treksperts’ Stage Packed With Star Trek Luminaries

So looking forward to attending!

FYI to anyone who is going/planning to go: I along with some other local fans who also collect video and pinball games will be bringing some of our personally-owned Star Trek-themed games to this Convention. If all goes right, we should have all 4 of the Star Trek pinball machines that have been released (going back to 1979) as well as 2 versions of a retro Star Trek video game that was produced by Sega as a coin-operated game in 1982. Again, these are full-sized, coin-operated machines, but for the Convention, they will be set up for free play (no quarters needed!). The organizers are also planning on a charity event with some of the celebrity guests playing on the games with the winner having a donation to his/her favorite charity.

AFAIK, this will be the first time for this type of related event to take place at one of these Conventions, and we’re happy to participate to make it happen certainly.

Hope to see folks there starting on this Friday!

That sounds awesome. I’m in the Bay Area so I’ll b there!

That sounds so fun! I love pinball!!!! Star Trek pinball!!! Any chance this can also happen in Vegas?

Actually, the organizers did ask us if we’d be willing to do this event at the Vegas show (in an even bigger way to bring other retro/pinball games based not only on Star Trek, but other SciFi/fantasy franchises (e.g., Star Wars, Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, Tron, Jurassic Park, etc.), but we had to decline at this time.

In truth, we’d actually love to do this but the logistics made it not doable as we also organize a local event each summer (this will be our 28th year now!) that involves literally hundreds of these types of games (pinball, video, etc.) spanning decades from the past to the present. But our show is set for the weekend just before the Vegas show so doing all we need to do to make our show happen and then turning around and trucking loads of these games from the SF/Bay Area to Vegas is just not viable, remembering just how large (and heavy) each and every game is. To have to load/unload a whole kit and caboodle of these games, set them up, maintain them, and then turn around and head home is again just too much for us all given we will have done much the same the weekend prior. Trust me, it’s a TON of work each time and while it’s also very much a labor of love for all us involved, it’s also very exhausting :) .

But hey, if you’re in the SF/Bay Area this summer for the very last weekend of July (7/27 & 7/28), we’ll be holding our crazy show (called “California Extreme”) on these dates if you feel inclined to attend. As I said, literally hundreds of pinballs and stand up video arcade games will be there, ranging from the past to the present, all set on free play (once you pay an admission fee) for you to enjoy until your fingers fall off or your wrists give out ;) .

Information on our very basic website here:

http://www.caextreme.org

That sounds incredibly fun. Sad it doesn’t work out with my location and life… but maybe one day! I was a big pinball kid. I actually worked at a video arcade as a teenager, although I confess that was a very annoying job as there were 12-year-olds begging me for quarters and cigarettes all day!

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I may attend!

San Francisco?!?! FINALLY a con in my back yard! I’m SOOOO there!

Perhaps hang around the elevator lobby at night — that’s where I ran into Frakes at at Trek convention at this same Hyatt about 8-9 years ago — and he stood and talked with me for about 10 minutes! The hotel set-up there is very conducive to running into the guests.

This makes me very happy. Hopefully they’ll do something out here on the east coast. I remember going to their previous small creation conventions in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.

I wonder if Creation can get the license back since Mission doesn’t seem to be doing anything with it.

Any chance of making it back to the east coast, PA or NJ? The local cons stopped happening just as we were gearing up to go!

I would consider one in the Philly/NJ area. Haven’t been to one in about 30 years, that one was in Atlantic City.

If only this came closer to Little Rock.

My first and so far only convention was in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ during the final season of TNG, before it was announced it would be the final season. There was only one guest, Brent Spiner. It was all in one big convention room in some hotel. I remember being in middle school, waiting in line with my dad, the tables of merch of all sorts in the main area, the big stage where as a kid I won the trivia contest, the really cool costume contest where the winner was a Borg (this is before cosplay took off because of the Internet), and then everyone sitting and watching Measure of a Man together before Spiner came out and answered questions and shook hands. I asked him what it was like to work with Spot (not great, he replied). He took questions about the possible end of the show, whether a movie might happen, whether he thought Data fired the gun at Kivas Fajo (yes), and someone even asked him why the Federation doesn’t have a cloaking device (his response: “I don’t know who to ask, maybe an Admiral?”)

It was such a fun, intimate experience, just to be surrounded with like-minded people who enjoy the same things I enjoy. It was a good time when the conventions were hyperlocal like that. Now it’s all so concentrated and consolidated and expensive that a kid like me wouldn’t be able to go to something like STLV and enjoy themselves. There are so many tiers of ticket and so much guarded access to the actors, and you have to have as many people as possible there.

I love that Creation might be going back to local conventions again. I hope they do more. I hope they are able to just do small 1-day affairs with 1 or 2 actors only. It really was enough for me to meet Data back then. It was everything.

Anyhoo, just sharing the memories.

Such a great story! I never been to a conversation before so always great to hear others. Thank you for sharing my friend! 🙂

And since you mentioned Spot there is an hilarious video on YouTube of Spiner at a convention a few years ago going off how much he hated working with the Spot cats and how hard it was to get them to do anything. It had me roling. 😂

So glad to see it’s coming back to the Bay!

Tickets for a stay at Hyatt are officially booked!

This looks amazing! We -loved- MISSION CHICAGO, the last headline TREK event in the Chicago area, back in 2022. Beyond excited about this news.

Hey Creation, let us know when you’re coming back to the Washington DC area for a Star Trek convention. Haven’t seen you here (for myself) since 1983.

I’ve been to only one convention, in February 1975, at a hotel in NYC. I don’t remember much, except that Gene Roddenberry announced there that he had a deal with Paramomount to make a Star Trek movie (and yes, it was almost more 5 years until it came out) and they screened a full restored version of The Cage for the first time, in black and white. I think they also screened a few TOS episodes in color.

Wow! If you’ve only been to one, that’s a pretty good one to have been at.

I’ll be there. But the Creation website is a cluttered mess that looks like it was designed by Pakleds. The schedule? a Google spreadsheet that’s super fun to look at on your iPhone with all the scrolling left right you have to do to even read it. Want to buy general admission tickets? Wander around in frustration until you piece together that maybe, just maybe, you can’t even buy those online and only at the door. Boomers and the Interwebs don’t mix. Boomers, stay away from pretty much everything. It’s 2024. You are not equipped and can’t learn “new” things. Enjoy your Jell-O and Matlock.

They rely on some volunteers, and it’s never been a big money maker for those involved. I didn’t have a problem navigating it. What’s the big deal?

As for General Admission passes, click on the HUGE BUTTON on the main page that says ADMISSION PASSES and then click on the multi-day or single-day general admission icon. Easy-peesy.

Thanks for tip. Got my tix. That “huge button” is the same headline art that on other pages is not a clickable button. The site is a mess. Grateful for your help.

You do know that Boomers invented the Internet (as DarpaNet in 1969) and the Web in 1989 right?

This sounds lovely to attend. Would love to see a lot of the casts from DS9, ENT, TNG and VOY again but Stashwick would be the biggest delight. Seen him in a lot of interviews and he’s so fun to listen to.

I really hope he can be part of Star Trek again in any form.

10 Things We Want From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3

Walter koenig interview: star trek the original series & the 7th rule podcast, 8 star trek: discovery things to know before season 5.

• Star Trek fans have a lot to look forward to in 2024, with virtual and in-person conventions, Star Trek Day, podcasts, and new series announcements.
• Despite uncertainties, the production of Star Trek: Section 31 and Lower Decks Season 5 are progressing smoothly.
• The final season of Star Trek: Discovery is set to premiere in April 2024, marking the end of Captain Burnham's voyages.

Star Trek has a big 2024 on tap, and here are 8 things to look forward to from the final frontier this year. Although the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes halted Hollywood production and the ability of talent and creatives to promote their work for much of 2023, Star Trek had a phenomenal year. Star Trek: Picard season 3, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, and Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 released a cumulative 30 episodes, were highly acclaimed as some of the most innovative Star Trek in years, and many episodes charted in the Nielsen streaming Top 10. All in all, 2023 was a great year to be a Star Trek fan.

Significant questions loom over Star Trek in 2024, however. Paramount may be up for sale, which would certainly impact Star Trek on Paramount+'s various series and projects. There remains no new Star Trek theatrical movie in development, going on 8 years since Star Trek Beyond hit theaters in the summer of 2016. And there is no indication that Paramount+ will greenlight Star Trek: Picard 's proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy , in spite of the same type of dedicated fan campaign that helped Star Trek: Prodigy jump to Netflix after it was canceled by Paramount+. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes also delayed production of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, which likely won't premiere until 2025. Still, Star Trek has a massive 2024 planned , and here are 8 things for fans to be excited about.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is in production now, and hopefully the next 10 episodes will deliver on these storylines and plot threads.

8 Star Trek Has Amazing Podcasts

The 7th rule, the shuttlepod show, inglorious treksperts, the delta flyers, and more.

Star Trek has podcasts to satisfy every type of fan , and they're available to watch on YouTube or stream wherever you get your podcasts. Walter Koenig joins The 7th Rule with Cirroc Lofton and Ryan T. Husk to discuss his episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. The Delta Flyers: Through The Wormhole added Terry Farrell and Armin Shimerman, who join Star Trek: Voyager 's Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill to review episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nin e. Inglorious Treksperts hosts Mark A. Altman and Daren Dochterman continue their unrivaled expertise of classic Star Trek with podcasts and live panel shows. Sadly, The Shuttlepod Show 's co-host Dominic Keating has left the podcast, but hosts and producers Connor Trinneer, Erica LaRose, and Mark J. Cartier will continue to dive deep into the lives and careers of their illustrious Star Trek guests. Star Trek fans have a wealth of podcasts to enjoy in 2024, with new episodes weekly.

Screen Rant interviews Walter Koenig about his joining The 7th Rule podcast to review Star Trek: The Original Series, his Trek memories, and more.

7 Star Trek Virtual & In-Person Conventions

Trektalks, virtual trek con 5, the llapy awards, stlv, and more.

Star Trek has a connection to its fans unlike any other in entertainment, and thanks to the various Star Trek conventions, both virtual and in-person, Star Trek fans have the privilege and ability to meet and hear from their favorite talent and creatives. Star Trek essentially pioneered the fan convention and 2024 kicks off with two huge virtual events: TrekTalks 3 , hosted by John Billingsley of Star Trek: Enterprise and Bonnie Gordon of Star Trek: Prodigy, streams live on YouTube on January 13th with a full day of panels featuring over 30 Star Trek guests, all to benefit the Hollywood Food Coalition. TrekTalks 3 will also feature a can't-miss Star Trek: Picard season 3 panel.

Virtual Trek Con 5 , from Cirroc Lofton of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Ryan T. Husk, and The 7th Rule podcast, streams on YouTube from February 15-19 with 4 days of Star Trek panels with numerous special guests. VTC5 is capped off by the 3rd annual LLAPy Awards , the only Star Trek awards show voted on by fans , which streams live on YouTube on Sunday, February 19. For in-person Star Trek cons, two of the biggest are Creation Entertainments ST:SF in San Francisco in March and STLV: Trek to Vegas in Las Vegas in August, both featuring dozens of Star Trek talent. And, with no strikes this year, Star Trek on Paramount+ will no doubt return once again with huge panels at San Diego Comic-Con in July and New York Comic-Con in October.

6 Star Trek Day 2024

Star trek celebrates the franchise in person again.

2023 sadly saw Paramount+'s annual in-person Star Trek Day event canceled because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Since 2021, Star Trek Day has been a celebration of the franchise bringing together talent and creatives from Star Trek on Paramount+'s series and Star Trek 's legacy shows and films. Held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles and streamed on Paramount+ and Star Trek 's social channels, Star Trek Day is expected to return in September 2024, with a likely agenda of honoring the departing Star Trek: Discovery and looking ahead to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 and more.

Screen Rant was on the red carpet for Star Trek Day 2022 .

5 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Announcements

Expect information about the newest star trek series.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was announced by Paramount+ in April 2023, and nothing more is known about the newest upcoming Star Trek series besides the fact that Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau ( Nancy Drew ) are the showrunners, and the writers' room includes Tawny Newsome of Star Trek: Lower Decks . 2024 should finally see more information about Starfleet Academy, which will hopefully announce the actors/characters of the show, and perhaps even confirm that Starfleet Academy is set after Star Trek: Discovery season 5 , as expected.

4 Star Trek: Section 31

Star trek's first made-for-streaming movie..

Announced in April 2023, Star Trek: Section 31 finally begins production from January to March in Toronto for a possible release in late 2024. Section 31 stars Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh , who reprises her Star Trek: Discovery anti-hero, Emperor Michelle Georgiou, and Yeoh used her clout from her Best Actress Oscar to ensure Section 31 is made. Star Trek: Section 31 is directed by Olutande Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, but nothing else is known about the first Star Trek movie made exclusively to stream on Paramount+ . Section 31 's potential success could lead to the plan for a new Star Trek streaming movie every 2 years to come to fruition. Even if Star Trek: Section 31 doesn't premiere in 2024, fans should at least finally learn what other characters are in the movie and what era of Star Trek Section 31 is set in.

3 Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5

Premieres in 2024 on paramount+..

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 may have been the animated comedy's best season yet, and hopes are high that Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 will top it. The SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes didn't affect the production of the animated series, and Star Trek: Lower Decks was able to complete its scripts, with 10 new episodes in production for the show's traditional late summer/early fall release date on Paramount+. Little is known about the stories planned for Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 and the newly-minuted junior Lieutenants of the USS Cerritos, except that there will be more exploration of the Orion culture through the eyes of former Lt. D'Vana Tendi (Noel Wells). And while there are fears that season 5 could be the last for Star Trek: Lower Decks, hopefully, the 2023 crossover with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds created more fans of Lower Decks, and creator Mike McMahan's hilarious animated show can continue for years to come.

2 Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 - The Final Season

Premieres april 2024 on paramount+..

The only live-action Star Trek series on Paramount+'s 2024 schedule, Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is the final season marking the end of the voyages of Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the USS Discovery. It was Star Trek: Discovery' s success on CBS All-Access, which became Paramount+, that led to Star Trek 's current TV renaissance. Although Discovery season 5 was not originally planned as the final season, following Paramount+ canceling the series in March 2023, reshoots were completed to turn Discovery 's season 5 finale into a proper ending for the entire series . Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is also a shift in tone to an Indiana Jones -like intergalactic treasure hunt adventure, according to Jonathan Frakes, who directs the penultimate episode of Discovery . Premiering in April 2024, Star Trek: Discovery will be the Star Trek event on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Discovery returns for season 5 in 2024 after a 2-year hiatus, and here's what you need to know about Captain Burnham's final adventures.

1 Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2

Premieres in 2024 on netflix.

With a huge global audience discovering the all-ages animated series on Netflix, Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is possibly the most anticipated Star Trek event of 2024 . Netflix premiered Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 on Christmas Day, priming viewers new and old for 20 all-new Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 episodes from creators and showrunners Kevin and Dan Hageman and their team. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 promises to go even bigger than season 1's high stakes, taking Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the young ragtag former crew of the USS Protostar into an alternate 25th-century future and beyond. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's massive scope will reportedly touch upon the entire Star Trek franchise, and the already-announced new castmember The Doctor (Robert Picardo) as well as the new USS Voyager-A are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the surprises, fun, and adventure Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 has in store.

Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks are streaming on Paramount+. Star Trek: Prodigy is streaming on Netflix.

Star Trek Beyond Live

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026!

Acclaimed by critics and fans alike, Star Trek Beyond is the third installment in the revolutionary franchise reboot by J.J. Abrams. Masterfully directed by Justin Lin,  Star Trek Beyond was universally hailed as an epic sci-fi adventure that honors the series' roots while delivering the mind-blowing action expected of today’s hottest movie blockbusters. And its soaring new orchestral score by Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino not only breaks new ground, but also reprises many of the beloved musical themes he created for the prior two Star Trek installments.

Three years into their five-year mission, the crew of the USS Enterprise is feeling the pressure of a lengthy assignment in deep space. After a brief respite on the enormous space station Yorktown , Kirk volunteers them for a rescue mission in a nearby uncharted nebula. The distress call quickly turns into a devastating surprise attack from a swarm of killer spacecraft commanded by the fearsome warlord Krall, who seeks the abronath - an ancient relic housed in the Enterprise’s vast archives that is the key to unleashing an unstoppable bioweapon capable of destroying the entire Federation. With the help of Jaylah, a resourceful scavenger and herself an escapee of Krall’s prison, Kirk and his crew struggle to warn the Yorktown of its impending destruction before Krall and his swarm of killer ships can overtake the massive space station and launch his doomsday weapon.

So prepare for warp speed once again… set your phasers to stun… and get ready to boldly go where no one has gone before…

In the middle of the tour, Creed will head to San Bernardino, Calif. to top the bill of the inaugural Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival, which will corral the openers on various legs of the tour and welcome a few other special guests. 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Vertical Horizon, The Verve Pipe will join Creed on Aug. 31 at San Bernardino’s Glen Helen Amphitheatre.

“Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival in San Bernardino is going to be so special for all of us,” says guitarist Mark Tremonti. “It is giving us a chance to bring performances from the cruises and tour together in one location. That show is going to be a highlight for us next year.”

In July, Creed announced their first shows together in 12 years as headliners of the Summer of ’99 cruise, setting sail from April 18-22, 2024. The band added a second cruise the following weekend, and both trips are sold out.

Stapp, Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips stopped touring together in 2012, after scoring smashes like “One,” “Higher,” “With Arms Wide Open” and “My Sacrifice”; their 1999 sophomore album, Human Clay , has sold 11.7 million copies to date, according to Luminate. In addition to the Creed reunion, Tremonti recently released a holiday album, Christmas Classics New & Old , and Stapp’s fourth solo album, Higher Power , will be released in March 2024.

ST-NASH: Trek to Nashville

September 13-15, 2024 embassy suites by hilton nashville se murfreesboro 1200 conference center blvd. murfreesboro, tn 37129.

You’ve heard our incredible story about being two young teenage Star Trek fans in NYC and getting the legendary Gene Roddenberry to do interviews for our fanzine in the early ‘70s. Our excitement could not be contained (even on the rotary phone), and Gene became a true mentor for us as we went where no fans had gone with an amazing Trek convention voyage that has lasted over 40 plus years!   For all these many decades, we have been proud to honor the philosophy of Roddenberry and have endeavored -- from our very first convention in 1971 (at the age of 15) to today -- to provide safe and welcoming places for everyone who shared those common values. Our goal is to celebrate diversity and inclusion as Star Trek embodies so well, especially when it is at its finest.   Now, we are thrilled to continue the spirit and embark on an epic new national tour!  After an amazing time in San Francisco this past March and the tremendous outpouring of favorable feedback, much aligned with the goals mentioned above, we are proud to announce our next regional (non-Vegas) stop.   Join us in rocking  Nashville on Sept. 13-15, 2024  with three days of intergalactic non-stop fun.   As a reminder, at Creation conventions, we do not oversell admission passes, so everyone who has a pass will be able to see all the daytime programming, including star panels, trivia games, cosplay contest and more!  It is the Creation Difference, and we want to make sure you know about it! Have any ideas for events, guests, panels at this convention?  Write to us at  [email protected]  with your suggestions and ideas.  In San Francisco, we spent 80 minutes post-show with fans for feedback (thanks to all there!) and we’re always wanting to hear from everyone with their ideas!

ALL the ADMISSION PASSES are now on sale! Please click here tto see your options!

Please click here to check some of the cool things we have planned for the convention!

STAR TREK DAY 2024: Our favorite ships ‘n’ shows

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

Today is Sunday, September 8 th , 2024:  Star Trek Day! This important Church of Trek holiday commemorates the date that the first episode of  Star Trek: The Original Series  was broadcast in the United States: September 8 th , 1966.

To mark the occasion, Comics Beat’s  Star Trek Team is sharing either our favorite Franchise ships, or our favorite series. Please join in the comment section or on social media and let us know what which ships and shows are your favorite. Live long and prosper, friends!

What’s your favorite  Star Trek ship?

For me, the only possible answer to this question is the U.S.S. Cerritos . This relatively small vessel is a California class ship tasked with performing Second Contact missions. Both inside and out, it’s clear that the same amount of resources are not expended on the Cali class vessels as are allocated to the “A-list” ships. This became especially obvious in the Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3 finale, in which we saw dozens of other Cali class ships. Clearly, they were all produced from the same mold, with only some paint-job flourishes to distinguish them from one another. But as impressive as the upper decks ships are, I never really felt like I could ever call a Starfleet ship home… until I was introduced to the Cerritos . Sure, the bridge may not have carpet or a fancy captain’s chair like the U.S.S. Enterprise-D , but hey: I hear the Mexican food in the Cali class replicators cannot be beat. Forget San Francisco. I’m leaving my heart on the Cerritos . — Avery Kaplan

From the moment the USS Defiant decloaked in the Deep Space 9 episode “The Search, Part I” I was hooked, as Captain Sisko said when she was first introduced to the crew “She may have flaws, but she has teeth!” Unlike other Federation starships the Defiant came with new innovations like ablative armor and a cloaking device, making a very powerful statement that she was here to kick ass and take many names. Designed to fight the Borg, she was critical in the defense of the Alpha Quadrant, taking on ships 2-3 times her size and holding her own, being the tip of the spear and eventually expanded her mission role to do some science and exploration. Watching the Defiant is always a visual treat, from saving Odo and Garak in “The Die is Cast” with her pulse phasers blazing to Sisko weaving her in and around Terok Nor defending the Terran rebels in the Mirror Universe episode “ Shattered Mirror” in a duplicate Defiant . The Defiant isn’t high on amenities but she could take on the tough assignments and get the job done going from an experimental ship to a class of ship. While not the original Defiant , the legacy of this ship deserves her place in the Fleet Museum. — George Carmona 3rd

Captain Jonathan Archer isn’t perfect and neither is his ship, the NX-01 . Both leader and machine have to rely on their crew more than most in Starfleet’s history, but without that forced reliance on others there would be no Federation. Interestingly, because Archer’s Enterprise was one of the greatest challenges the Star Trek art department ever faced that’s also how the NX-01 design process worked too, requiring a whole fleet of concept artists including John Eaves ( check out these early designs! ), Doug Drexler , Herman Zimmerman , and Mike Okuda . According to STAR TREK — Designing Starships: The Enterprises and Beyond , edited by Ben Robinson , the NX-01 presented numerous artistic challenges as Earth’s first true starship in addition to having to meet demands from producers that the ship had to be able to continue to evolve as the story of its crew evolved. But in the end that flexibility in ship design paid off, giving me one of my favorite Star Trek episodes, Enterprise season 2, episode 9, “Singularity,” in which Archer asks his engineer Trip Tucker to redesign his captain’s chair. In the episode everyone gets obsessive about a single task, which is the redesign of the chair for Trip, but it’s also the beginning of the cupholder in the captain’s chair. — Ollie Kaplan

What’s your favorite  Star Trek show?

While my initial inclination was to go with something from Lower Decks like Avery, since that was the series that converted me to being a Trek fan, I’m going to go with something fairly recent and show some love for Star Trek: Prodigy . While I’m sure there is no shortage of Dal and Gwyn shippers, I’m going to have to highlight the romance between Maj’El and Zero that was introduced in the most recent second season. Showcasing the romantic feelings of Vulcans isn’t new entirely, but to have a relationship with a Medusan is definitely quite inspired. I was a little bummed that the Zero/Maj’El relationship kind of fell by the wayside for the second half of Season 2. But considering everything the show creators packed into those episodes, I completely understand. I know a lot of us are hoping for Prodigy to continue in some form. In which case, I also hope for more development of the Zero/Maj’El relationship.  — Taimur Dar

The majority of the  Star Trek Franchise movies and shows are currently available for streaming on Paramount+ . For both seasons of the excellent Star Trek: Prodigy , you’ll want to Proto-warp over to Netflix . And to celebrate  Star Trek Day 2024, the pilot episodes of every Franchise show but Prodigy are available to stream free on Paramount partner platform s .

On Star Trek Day 2024, fans celebrate the iconic series by sharing their favorite ships and shows. Personally, I would choose the USS Cerritos for its unique charm and the delectable Mexican food! Just like navigating the treacherous paths of the Slope Game, choosing your favorite can be a challenge, but it’s all part of the fun.

The clean white exterior and the retro future interior of the original show cannot be beat. It’s datedness is its appeal. The other shows tried too hard to look more realistic or better or modern, and you wind up seeing the TNG ship with its wood paneling and carpet on the bridge that reminds me of Mike Brady’s den now.
