There’s been a lot of speculation as to the attendees at next summer’s 50th Anniversary Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, and while Creation Entertainment has released a preliminary guest list, there are still a host of Trek luminaries yet to comment on their participation.
Today, however, one of the biggest names in Star Trek announced that he’s leaning towards attending his first convention in decades.
The 50th is pretty important. A lot of folks have asked me to appear in Vegas. I think I’m going to end my 20 year absence, and attend.

This would be a huge get for Creation and an extremely rare treat for the Las Vegas convention attendees, as Berman — the heir to Gene Roddenberry’s stewardship over the Star Trek franchise — has rarely made public appearances at fan settings.
His participation would be such a wonderful surprise for those making the trip to the Rio hotel next August, and of all the years to come out of Trek retirement, this may be the perfect timing to reconnect with the fan community.
Now we just need somebody to give Creation Jolene Blalock’s phone number.
