Galaxy Quest: The Humor of Star Trek and Beyond – 3PM-4PM
Come check out this panel moderated by Mark A. Altman (Librarians, Castle) as he and the panel members discuss the use of humor in Star Trek, and how that humor has wormed its way into popular culture as a whole.
COPD: Highly Illogical – A Special Tribute to Leonard Nimoy a New Film by Julie Nimoy and David Knight – 3PM-4:30PM
The loss of Leonard Nimoy was felt by all fans, and there continues to be a hole in the Star Trek fandom that he used to fill. His daughter, Julie Nimoy, will talk about the film she has worked on to bring awareness to COPD, a disease which effects as many as 30 million Americans.

Come learn about everything that went into creating the early days of Starfleet, and listen to cast members recount their experiences from the show.
The Evolution of Star Trek’s Fandom – 5:30PM-6:30PM
Star Trek could arguably be the first mainstream fandom to have come into existence, and if it weren’t for the early dedicated fans, the series may have never lived on to be the success we all know it to be. Come learn about the dense history behind the scenes of Star Trek as the panel members discuss early fandom, from fanzines and novelizations, to now.
IDW and the Wonderful World of Trek Comics – 6:45PM-7:15PM
