In addition to these scheduled events, there will also be some weekend-long events and exhibitors and on hand throughout the convention center.

James Cawley’s former Star Trek: New Voyages Original Series bridge and transporter sets, now an officially-licensed exhibit open to the public, will be traveling to the NYC event, along with dozens of meticulously created TOS-era props.

Star Trek cast members from all of the television shows – will appear both in groups and one-on-one in various panel discussions throughout the weekend.

Hallmark will be featuring two convention-exclusive Keepsake Ornaments, including their 50th Anniversary NCC-1701 release we covered back in April.

Lastly, the Starfleet Academy Experience at the USS Intrepid is just a few blocks away, and will be operating all convention weekend for guests wanting to join Starfleet themselves.
