Star Trek events for Thursday, June 4th - Wednesday, June 10th, 2020
If you’re in the mood to get together with some fellow Trekkies, while maintaining social distancing, then make sure you head online to one of these events over the next week:
Klingon Assault Group KAG CON 2020 - Friday, June 5 - Sunday, June 7
Listener Troy wrote in to tell me about the Klingon Assault Group’s KAG KON, taking place this weekend. He says, “The Klingon Assault Group (KAG) is hosting KAG KON 2020 on June 5 - 7 over Discord. It is a primarily Klingon-centric (and no-cost) con with a number of Klingon-themed panels. There will be a performance by the Klingon Pop Warrior and guest Star Trek author, Keith R. A. DeCandido will be speaking. Other celebrity guests are possible and currently in the works. In addition to discussion panels, there will be a virtual art show and dealers room.”
For more information, visit Klingon Assault Group on Facebook.
Creation Entertainment presents Jeffrey Combs and Casey Biggs - Sunday, June 7
This Sunday, June 7th, at 10:00am PT, Creation Entertainment, the organizers of the Star Trek Las Vegas convention - are hosting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine veterans Jeffrey Combs and Casey Biggs. These Virtual Fan Experiences are online events similar to panels you’d attend in person. Tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, and by “tipping” during the event, you can win yourself a swag bag and a one-on-one chat with the guests. Find out more at stageit.com/creationent.

Then there’s Star Trek: Netflix Party, hosted daily and coordinated on Facebook. Every evening, they use the Netflix Party Chrome extension to watch Star Trek together. To find out more, head over to Star Trek: Netflix Party on Facebook.
If you have an online event or gathering you’d like me to promote on the show, let me know! How are YOU getting together with your fellow Trekkies, without leaving the house?
Send me an email to let me know, at info@dailystartreknews.com. Or you can continue to use the hashtag #dstnevents on Twitter or Instagram, and I’ll re-share your event. That’s info@dailystartreknews.com, or hashtag #dstnevents, to let me know what you’re doing to keep the fandom alive, even as we’re all mostly staying in.
