Star Trek conventions used to take place all over the country, and still do to a lesser extent. But if you want one place where all your favorite stars will be appearing under one roof, the yearly Star Trek extravaganza that is held in Nevada simply cannot be beat.
This year’s edition is being held July 31 through August 4 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and promises another weekend of big announcements, star sightings and fun to be had by all who attend.
Who knows. Could we maybe get out first look at a full trailer for Star Trek: Picard this year? One can hope.

It includes three captains, (Kirk, Janeway and Pike) stars from every Star Trek television series and more guest stars that you can count.
And the list got got a bit longer.
Star Trek.com revealed that four members of the cast of Star Trek: Discovery have been added to the guest list as well as a key member of the cast of Deep Space Nine.
