SDCC is Almost Here. Who's Ready for 5 days of Star Trek?

This year's San Diego Comic-Con is shaping up to be an incredible one for Star Trek fans as we continue with the franchise's 60th anniversary celebration!

You won't have to look far to find Trek. Even the official SDCC badges feature the U.S.S. Enterprise soaring over the San Diego Convention Center, making this one of the most Trekified Comic-Cons in years.

Here's what we're most excited about:

The Star Trek Universe Hall H panel / Saturday, July 25 from 12:30–1:45 PM in Hall H, featuring the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, executive producers, and an all-star celebration of 60 years of Star Trek with legends from across the franchise. Expect exclusive footage, announcements, surprise guests, and plenty of anniversary moments as we cover the panel from Hall H!

Giraffe will be there all weekend covering the convention for Strange New Pod, and we can't wait to share everything with you. If you see her on the convention floor, please come say hello!

If you're around Friday at 10:00 AM, you can also support a cool cosplay panel:

Showcasing Your Culture Through Fandom Cosplaying

We'll be talking about how cosplay can celebrate culture, identity, and heritage while building community through fandom. It's a conversation that's close to my heart, and I'd love to see some fellow Trek fans there.

Whether you're making the trip to San Diego or following along from home, it's going to be an incredible week to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek. Live long and prosper, and we'll see you at SDCC!
