Amidst more than a year of date changes, delays, pivots to virtual events, and flat-out cancellations, it’s been a long time since any of us have taken the trip to a Star Trek happening — but fans in the UK can now mark their calendars with ink.

The team behind the European Destination Star Trek convention series announced today that they’re committing to hold the 2021 Destination Star Trek: London celebration this November — a date tentatively announced last September when 2020’s event had to be delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.

They shared the news today, locking in the November 12 – 14 schedule, with a little help from Star Trek: Voyager veteran Robert Picardo.

The Star Trek: Voyager documentary team has been looking with hopeful eyes to the London event in hopes of filming a Voyager cast reunion — so this will certainly be good news for that production, on top of all the local Star Trek fans so eager to get back into the convention feeling.

While that event is far enough away that most of you planning to attend should hopefully have ample opportunity to be vaccinated, there’s still a curious lack of news about the impending Destination Star Trek: Germany convention — curiously still on the books for a late June 2021 date.

We’ve reached out to the Destination Star Trek team to see what’s up with the Germany plans, as we’re within two months of that scheduled event.

MAY 7 UPDATE: The Destination Star Trek: Germany convention has now been rescheduled for September 2022.

Creation Entertainment’s The 55-Year Mission Tour convention — the new name for the former “Official Star Trek Convention” held in Las Vegas each August — is still on track (as of this writing) for its August 11-15 schedule, as the local Nevada government plans to continue reopening efforts as we head into summer.

(That said, it wasn’t until June 2020 that last year’s Creation event was pushed out from its original date — so there’s still a chance things may change for the Las Vegas situation.)

Creation is also still promoting their September convention in New Jersey, however similar regional events in Vancouver and Florida have both been cancelled for that same month.

ReedPop’s October New York Comic Con event is expected to be a hybrid in-person/virtual happening this fall, but with the massive news released at First Contact Day — and a likely repeat of last year’s Star Trek Day event in September — we don’t expect too much Trek at NYCC this year.

Especially with the ViacomCBS team gearing up for next April’s Star Trek: Mission Chicago convention, which is surely to be the biggest in-person Star Trek event in years.

We’ll bring you more news on all the Star Trek events happening this year as the months roll on — in the meantime, if you’re headed to London in November, you can score tickets to the Destination Star Trek: London event now.
