The event, titled “Trek to Orlando,” is scheduled for Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, conveniently located across from Universal Orlando. This marks a significant milestone, as it is the first instance of Creation Entertainment hosting a Star Trek convention in Orlando, despite the company having organized Star Trek conventions nationwide since 1991.
Creation Entertainment has a solid reputation in the conventions space, having successfully held events for popular shows such as “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries” in Orlando in the past. The introduction of a dedicated Star Trek convention comes in response to the high demand expressed by fans in the area. Ryan Husk, co-hosting the event, emphasized the enthusiasm fans have for a Star Trek convention in Orlando, which has driven this inaugural event.
The convention promises a more relaxed atmosphere compared to larger-scale events like MegaCon Orlando. Attendees can look forward to an array of activities focusing on interactive experiences, such as panels and celebrity guest interactions. Creation Entertainment anticipates a large turnout for the convention, with hopes of establishing it as an annual event going forward.
The lineup for Trek to Orlando includes 20 celebrity guests from various Star Trek series. Notable attendees consist of Casey Biggs, who played Damar in “Deep Space Nine,” among others. Biggs has shared his appreciation for the unwavering dedication of Star Trek fans, particularly highlighting their contributions to charitable initiatives and community engagement.
Throughout the weekend, participants will experience a variety of activities designed to create an engaging environment. These activities will include autograph signings, photo opportunities, trivia sessions, a cosplay contest, and various discussion panels. A special highlight of the convention will be a performance titled “Saturday Evening with The Rat Pack,” featuring performances by Casey Biggs, Jeffrey Combs, and Vaughn Armstrong. Additionally, actor Anthony Rapp, known for his Broadway work, is scheduled to host a concert on the evening of Friday, August 22, prior to the convention’s official start.
Ticket pricing for the event ranges from $35 for general admission to $850 for access to the entire weekend. Higher-priced ticket tiers offer additional benefits, such as in-person autograph sessions and entry to concert events. Attendees are reminded to bring cash for autograph sessions and selfies with celebrity guests, and professional photo opportunities with individual or groups of celebrities will be offered for purchase.
The programming for the convention begins each day at approximately 9 a.m. and will continue into the evening, ensuring ample opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite fellow enthusiasts and Star Trek stars. For those interested in attending, additional details and options for purchasing tickets can be found on the Creation Trek to Orlando website.
