HERE'S OUR PROMOTIONAL ARTWORK FOR THE CONVENTION, HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
|
Unlike so many other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict company policy not to "oversell" our conventions. In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place. Nothing upsets us more than hearing about other conventions that sell tickets to patrons and then those very same patrons have to wait on additional lines inside the facility to get into (or sometimes not!) the main theatre. An important Creation Entertainment difference we want you to know about!
The Creation difference extends to our 40 years experience in running fan conventions. In the last few years we've seen promoter after promoter fail taking hard earned ticket money down with them. Inexperienced promoters, often first-timers, use celebrity images and names to get ticket money which they use to hopefully pay their expenses. When that fails they've already gone through "your" ticket money and they collapse leaving no recourse for ticket holders.
They say "buyer beware" but this has happened in Twilight, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly fandom (to name just a few) and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans. |

**All Convention tickets have a $7.75 shipping/handling fee
charged per ticket ordered. This applies to all online, phone, fax and mail orders.
Note: Our ticketing office (Leticia) direct e-mail address has been changed to:

***Attention Attendees: Do not purchase Ticketmaster Tickets
from scalpers or anyone trying to offer tickets as you arrive at our convention
locations. Each ticket is checked for authenticity at the door and we can not
let you in if your ticket is counterfeit (which has happened recently). Please
buy your tickets only from Creation or, if we are using them, Ticketmaster! Thanks,
we appreciate your support! |

ALL GUESTS are contracted to appear and all convention contracts specify that appearances are tentative and subject to change as film and television work demands take precedence as can a personal conflict. Our events will take place whether a specific guest cancels or not (we always try to book replacements) and therefore we can not issue admission ticket or ticket package refunds if a particular guest does not fulfill their appearance contract. Of course we will always refund separately purchased photo ops and autograph tickets for a guest if they cancel.
PHOTO TAKING POLICY AT THIS CONVENTION
We know that taking photos makes the convention even more fun and we thought it would be a good idea to share our photo taking policies for you before you arrive at the convention so you can prepare. In the auditorium, photo taking is encouraged, but only from your seat. It is unfair to run up to the stage and block the view of others who have paid for reserved seats in front of you. Even if there are empty seats, patrons must sit in the seats they paid for to be fair to everyone. Due to fire marshall regulations everyone must be seated during performances. Please also be courteous to your neighbors when taking pictures. Photo taking is not allowed during autographing sessions nor during the photo ops. Only those people who have autograph tickets may come up to get autographs. At the Gold Exclusive Parties and Breakfast: photo taking is encouraged when the guests arrive (but only from your seats). After a sufficient time for all to get their photos we ask that your cameras be placed down so the celebrities can enjoy their time at the two food functions. Thank you for understanding the need to have these few rules so everyone is safe and has fun.
The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts, getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!
In the event of convention cancellations or date changes Creation Entertainment is not responsible for patrons' costs involving travel or hotel accommodations or any other non convention ticket expenses.
Advance ticket sales are generally turned off early to mid-week of the week of the events. Tickets, if they are not sold out, are sold at the convention of course.
When we ran The Official STAR WARS Convention we brought in Gene Roddenberry as a surprise and this moment in time was a true highlight. Gene was a great mentor of ours and he is always in our thoughts, especially when we gather for our Official STAR TREK Conventions.
LOST was one of the great TV series of all-time and we were proud to be an official licensee for the show. Here three of the stars, Ian Somerhalder, Evangeline Lilly and Naveen Andrews, grace our stages in a Creation Convention appearance.
Two of our most popular celebrity guests from the Stargate franchise making their only Creation appearance together on stage: Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping! We love following their careers post Stargate and look forward to enjoying their work for years to come!
How's this for cool? Arnold as THE Terminator at our Official T-2 Convention, an awesome occasion!
A VERY special moment in Creation History
BILL SHATNER & LEONARD NIMOY toasting the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek on the exact day, 4 decades later, that the original series began its TV run! Taken in Chicago at Creation's Salute to Star Trek's 40th! Thanks, Bill and Leonard for being such a big part of Creation Entertainment! Who would have thought that as kids that watched classic Trek, that one day we'd be working with these show biz legends!
History is made again at Creation when LEONARD NIMOY passes the ceremonial "#1 Vulcan" tee-shirt to the new Mr. Spock ZACHARY QUINTO. It all happened in front of the audience at Grand Slam XVI. Creation Conventions: it is ALL about making wonderful memories like this!
Superstar Legend Jack Nicholson made the "Creation" scene, a definite ultra-cool moment in our 40 plus year history!
Growing up watching THE AVENGERS was a particular joy so when Patrick Macnee joined the Creation line-up of stars it was a joyous occasion for us and his many fans!
It's never happened before or after but it was another of our proudest moments: having four STAR TREK Captains share the stage. Let's hope we can pull it off again some day and add a few more?
Long-time Creation friend (and early fan attendee turned superstar producer) DEAN DEVLIN brought along friends Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer to one of our shows. Dean is currently behind one of TV's greatest shows LEVERAGE!
The impeccable Ricardo Montalban created Star Trek's most popular villian as Khan but in person he truly was one of a kind and his two appearances for us were definitely amongst the most memorable! He is sorely missed by all Trekkers and was indeed a Hollywood classic himself!
Gracious and supportive to us as ever William Shatner made sure first time Creation guest star Joan Collins (in her only convention appearance) was comfortable on stage, reunited decades after their ultra-popular classic Trek appearance together!
As promised, a seat for all! Here's a scene of the amazing theatre we used for years for our Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. At Creation shows: no waiting and worrying about seeing the stars!
Pretty Cool we'd say to have welcomed the ultra talented Elijah Wood as Creation promoted several Official LORD OF THE RINGS events. We can't wait to do it all again for the new films!
Here's some shots of Leonard Nimoy's last convention appearance (courtesy of Paul Harvath), taken at our Chicago 2011 Official STAR TREK Convention. Thank You Leonard for your three decade association with Creation: we've loved every minute of presenting you to your adoring fans (of which we number ourselves!):
Leonard Nimoy's emotional farewell to Star Trek Conventions: 2011 Chicago
These guys are HILARIOUS on stage together and we love having them at our events: true superstars of the genre: Jonathan Frakes (now busy directing) and Brent Spiner!

Join celebrity guests and fellow fans in honoring Gene Roddenberry's enduring legacy of a positive future for mankind as Creation Entertainment brings The Official STAR TREK Convention: The Celebration of the 45th Anniversary to the great city of NASHVILLE. Adam Malin, co-CEO of Creation Entertainment, stated "Gene was a mentor and invaluable supporter of our conventions for many years and our appreciation of his and Majel's support is the foundation upon which we continue to love running Star Trek Conventions."
This Nashville weekend will feature a fantastic array of Star Trek stars, non-stop events, parties, contests, panels, music, performances, autographing, photo ops and some amazing extra surprises! We are terrified happy to announce the very first live appearance of four representatives of The Klingon Empire: the Duras Sisters and Gowron and Martok! The Klingons, after an extended period of talks and as yet unexplained disappearances of human negotiators, have agreed to appear at this convention provided they are treated with honor and dignity. Make your plans NOW to be part of the fun of the 45th Anniversary of Star Trek: it only happens once in a lifetime and it isn't the same without YOU!

HOTEL RESERVATIONS
A special room rate is offered to those staying with the covention. To reserve rooms for this great price, you can call The Gaylord Opryland Resort at 1-615-883-2211 and use the code 11Trek.
The rate is good for the convention nights and for the day before and after (if available). HAVE FUN and enjoy this AMAZING hotel resort: we love it there and YOU will too!
Gaylord Opryland Resort
Creation Entertainment holds a "block" of rooms for our attendees. These blocks of rooms have a lower rate than standard rates at the hotel, but they also have a "cut-off" point after which hotels may choose to revert back to their own higher rates for our customers. Usually this cut off date is one month prior to the event, but this does vary. Therefore it is always wise to book your rooms for our conventions as early as possible.

HOSTED BY ADAM MALIN, co-founder of Creation Entertainment
& RICHARD ARNOLD, world's leading authority on Star Trek
THANK YOU TO ALL for joining our celebration of the 45th Anniversary of STAR TREK, a true milestone
honoring Gene Roddenberry's legacy of a positive future for all and a welcoming of diversity, messages needed today more than ever! It is a pleasure to continue our long association with the Star Trek property and its beloved stars. We're thrilled to welcome our loyal patrons and many new attendees as well. Of course any reason to come back to The Gaylord Opryland Resort makes our conventions even more special. The decor, the rooms, the "atriums" and restaurants are all magical topped only by the friendly Southern hospitality of the folks that work here.
In order to make sure all are safe we do ask that you remain seated during presentations, sit in the seat you've paid for and also please turn off pagers and cell phones while in the theatre. If you ask a celebrity a question kindly make sure the question is a good one and about the career of the guest, not about yourself! Good questions make for good
entertainment and we need your help in this regard. Photos can be taken ONLY from your seat please.
If there is anything we can do to make your stay more fun please make sure to see show host and Creation co-founder Adam Malin or our registration team.
