Ronald D Moore will also appear in the Behind the Scenes Theatre, where he will  discuss his work on Star Trek and answer those all-important questions from fans alongside fellow Producers  Ira Steven Behr (TNG/ DS9) and Brannon Braga (TNG/ DS9/ ST ENT) to. All three producers will be on stage daily throughout the event*.

The captains will also be participating in an Opening Ceremony talk which will give fans the opportunity to ask them questions. Each of them will also have individual Q&A talks on Saturday and Sunday, along with autograph and photo shoot sessions with fans.

Other exciting features at the event include: autograph opportunities, photo shoots with the stars, guest talks, replica sets, a unique Star Trek Museum, stunt demonstrations, costume displays and lots more!

Two exclusive parties are also planned for the Friday and Saturday nights, taking place at the ExCeL with entertainment included so there’s something for everyone who attends.

Saturday night’s party will mark the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  The party will feature Chase Masterson (Barjoran Dabo Leeta – Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and her all-star cabaret!

With all of this and more, ‘DESTINATION STAR TREK LONDON’ will be an unmissable event for both hardcore fans of the show and for people who are curious about the Star Trek universe!
