“Boldly go where no man has gone before” as Trek it Nashville brings everything Star Trek to the Embassy Suites (1200 Conference Center Blvd., Murfreesboro) from Friday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024.
The Tennessee native (who plays Captain Christopher Pike on Discovery) Anson Mount, will headline the convention, with other appearances including Ethan Peck (“Spock” from Strange New World), Sonequa Martin-Green (“Michael Burnham” from Discovery) and more.
Created by two Trekkies 40 years ago (when they were 15) after interviewing creator Gene Roddenberry for their fanzine, Trek it Nashville has grown and is currently on a national tour that began in San Francisco, California.
“We have been proud to honor the philosophy of Roddenberry and have endeavored –from the very first convention in 1971…to today – to provide safe and welcoming places for everyone who [shares] those common values,” says the event website. “Our goal is to celebrate diversity and inclusion as Star Trek embodies so well.”
The event offers three days of intergalactic fun including star panel discussions, trivia games, a cosplay contest on Saturday, parties, Karaoke, and science panels discussing things like the Milky Way. There will also be a “no minimum bid” auction featuring rare collectibles and a selection of vendors carrying merchandise not sold anywhere else.
Eternal fan favorites are the photo ops with stars from the shows (for an additional fee). Up to two fans can use one photo op ticket. Click here for more photo op information.
Tickets for Trek it Nashville start at $30 for a one-day basic general admission to $850 for the ultimate Gold Package. For more information visit the website.
