See one of the world’s greatest entertainers live on stage!
He is as moving and hilarious as ever and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the iconic STAR TREK: well it’s priceless and only happens once in your area: will you be there?

CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017. The new series will blast off with a special preview broadcast on the CBS Television Network. The premiere episode and all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service.

The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.

The new program will be the first original series developed specifically for U.S. audiences for CBS All Access, a cross-platform streaming service that brings viewers thousands of episodes from CBS’s current and past seasons on demand, plus the ability to stream their local CBS Television station live for $5.99 per month. CBS All Access already offers every episode of all previous Star Trek television series.

The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS BRAND NEW INCARNATION OF STAR TREK: WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AT OUR AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION EVENT SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY.

SPECIAL PANELS
with John Tenuto and Maria Jose Tenuto, Professors of Sociology, College of Lake County:

50 Years of Star Trek: The Original Series Collectibles.
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series with a fun and trivia-filled presentation that journeys from the earliest days of Star Trek collectibles to recent releases. Learn about the earliest Star Trek TOS items available for fans in 1966/67, see photographs of never released prototypes and amazing unusual/rare items from around the world, how collectibles and toys were used in the production of episodes and even influenced certain episodes, and the role that collectibles played in helping Star Trek return to the mainstream.

A 30th Anniversary Tribute to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
One of Star Trek's most popular and enduring films, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, celebrates its 30th Anniversary in 2016. Through early drafts of scripts, production memos, and rare photographs, learn about the making of this important film and celebrate the contributions of the behind the scenes artists who made the movie so special. Special thanks to the film's co-writer Nicholas Meyer and the University of Iowa Libraries "Papers of Nicholas Meyer" Collection, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Associate Producer Kirk Thatcher, and Dan Madsen for permission to share some of the special materials in this presentation.

Creation Entertainment joins the world in celebrating the life and legacy of Leonard Nimoy.


Leonard Nimoy
(1931-2015)

Our Chicago 50th Anniversary Convention is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Leonard Nimoy, the man who inspired generations of fans to go into the world of science and therefore his endless contributions will truly never end. We are proud to have called him our friend and business colleague for decades and in that vein we will present an audiovisual presentation and memories of the man and his career hosted by Adam Malin. Our proud achievement is the fact that hundreds of thousands of Mr. Nimoy’s worldwide fans had the opportunity to meet this gigantic talent in person at Creation Conventions.

Set for FRIDAY, please join us to share our memories and offer your own.

STAR TREK MUSIC VIDEO COMPETITION

Show your creativity as a video producer by contributing a "music video" for the convention. The best submissions will be screened at the convention in the big theatre and are often used to introduce our guest stars. Get rolling on your video honoring STAR TREK, its themes, legacy and characters. Those that get shown are rewarded with a $100 gift certificate suitable for framing.

Rules: one music video about STAR TREK may be submitted on DVD only (please no computer-based media like CD accepted). PLEASE USE ONLY NTSC FORMAT FOR YOUR DVD. Entries are judged on the following criteria: video quality, audio quality, editing quality, inventiveness, song selection, and originality. Entries can not be returned, and person submitting entry is granting Creation the right to play this entry in perpetuity at Creation events worldwide and/or on line at the Creation website(s). Creation does not sell music videos so your entry will never be sold as a commercial product, just presented at our events/on line. (WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN VIDEOS SALUTING SOME OF THE SUPPORTING CHARACTERS AT OUR EVENTS SO WE CAN INTRODUCE THEM WITH VIDEOS, SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND!)

Winners will receive a $100 gift certificate good for Creation Merchandise (Creation merchandise only, excludes convention, autograph and photo-op tickets). If you want to know if we received your submission please send In your video using order confirmation or signature required. We do not announce winners until the event. Thanks and good luck!

Note: Due to the high volume of entries for our Music Video Contests, we are forced to limit entries to those people actually attending the specific show they are entering for. You do not have to be present for the actual showing of your video, but you must claim your award on site before the end of the weekend or your award will be forfeited. URGENT: PLEASE NOTE THAT COMPETITION CLOSES FORTY DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL OPENING CONVENTIONS, NO EXCEPTIONS! Please note that fans should not use footage from other than the shows we are honoring even if it features the stars of the current show the convention is about.

BE ON HAND for this once in a lifetime opportunity during the 50th Anniversary year of Star Trek. You get one 2 1/2 by 6 foot table plus two full convention general admission tickets.

If you are interested in attending the convention as a vendor in the dealers room click on over to: www.creationent.com/dealers.htm

Attention Attendees: Do not purchase Creation 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 with a scanner and we can not let you in if your ticket is counterfeit (which has happened recently).

Each ticket once scanned makes any and all copies of that same one of a kind scan void and we can only let the first person in with it. Please only buy your tickets from Creation in advance or at the door, we have seen too many nice folks lose their hard earned money this way and be turned away. Thanks, we appreciate your support!

IN PERSON STAR TREK CELEBRITY AUTOGRAPHS

Autograph and Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention. You must have an admission ticket for the convention in order to redeem autograph and photo op tickets. Photography is not allowed during the autograph sessions. One of the coolest things about the convention is the chance to get in person autographs on the item of your choice (you can bring something from home or purchase a photo or souvenir at the convention). At this particular show, due to popular demand, many of the stars will be present throughout the majority of the weekend, at tables in the vendors room, where you can purchase your autographs directly from them. Those stars participating in that way are noted below. BEST OF ALL: think how cool it is to get these on the actual 50th Anniversary Weekend: A story that will stay with you forever! We can’t wait and thank CHICAGO AREA fans for always being part of the Creation and Star Trek families, selling out convention after convention. We love our fellow Trekkers in the Midwest: from the start you’ve been with us!

PHOTO-OPS

Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention. You must have an admission ticket for the convention to enter into the photo op areas. Due to security considerations and guest concerns we cannot facilitate the giving of gifts to guests at the photo op sessions. LIMIT OF TWO FANS PER PHOTO-OP, NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE! TWO FANS CAN BE IN THE PHOTO OP FOR THE PRICE OF ONE PHOTO OP TICKET.

One of the coolest experiences at the convention is having your photo taken with famous Star Trek celebrities. Creation Entertainment's staff photographers are acknowledged as the best by far in the fan field and we make both our attendees and the celebrities feel super comfortable.

CREATION’S RULES AND REGULATIONS

Thanks for being with us! We really appreciate your visit and want to make sure you have the absolute best time! With that in mind a few rules to keep everyone safe:

1) PHOTO TAKING is from your seats only, don’t rush the stage when guests appear. NO SELFIE STICKS! Please limit flash (which does not make your photos better unless you are in the first few rows) photography. Those with sensitivity to flash please be aware that it does occur. Photos taken at our events are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
2) PHOTO OPS are done on a first come/first taken basis with any exceptions noted within this schedule, including Backstage VIPs who can go first. PLEASE be on time as they move very quickly and once the photo op session is over, we cannot repeat. Special poses are at the discretion of the actors and could be based on flights, scheduling or other issues. Time consuming pose set-ups, costumes and/or props may not be permitted. PHOTO OPS may be picked up in the photo pick up area when available. Full information on when photos will be ready is on a hand-out available in the photo op room. Personal photo-taking is not allowed in the photo op room at any time. Please put cell phones away when you’re in the photo ops room. We try our best to catch light glare on glasses, but it is extremely difficult to detect during the session. Be advised that we cannot be responsible for glare if you choose to leave your glasses on in your photo. Photo ops may be used for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Each photo op ticket can include up to two fans and you are allowed to have up to four fans (two tickets required) in one photo. We cannot accommodate more than four fans in any one photo. If you are accompanying a fan, but will not be in the photo, you must wait outside of the photo ops room unless you are with a minor or assisting someone with special needs, then you may wait on the other side of the room.
3) AUTOGRAPHING: Please have your items for signature out and ready during autograph sessions. Personalizing is at the discretion of the celebrity signing and/or may be affected by guest flights or other scheduling issues. You must bring something to have signed, either from home or an item purchased on site. Photo-taking of the celebrity guests during autograph sessions is not allowed. Only those with an autograph ticket may go up to the autograph table. If you are accompanying a fan, but do not have an autograph ticket, you must wait in another area until the process is finished, unless you are with a minor or assisting someone with special needs, then you may wait on the other side of the autograph area. If you have trouble standing let us know, if you are in a wheelchair or scooter please go with your row or by your number. Celebrities have the right to refuse to sign items that are deemed inappropriate.
4) VOLUNTEERS: Our volunteers are here to help you and we thank them for doing so. However, if you have an issue with ANYONE or ANYTHING please let Adam or Gary know during the convention so they can solve the problem. They can’t help immediately if you don’t tell then on-site when it happens. They’re easy to find. Just ask!
5) SEATING: Please sit ONLY in the seat you paid for.
6) AUDIO/VIDEO: At the request of our guests, no video or audio capturing or LIVE STREAMING!
7) CELL PHONES: Please turn cell phones off or set to vibrate and kindly refrain from talking when theatre is active.
8) Q&As: ONLY ONE QUESTION MAY BE ASKED TO A CELEBRITY BY A FAN. PLEASE NO PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT YOURSELF, ASKING FOR HUGS, OR TELLING THEM WHY YOU LOVE THEM (that’s why we’re all here!). And please, no BIRTHDAY requests! As you are representing all of us, kindly make your question a good well-thought-out one and perhaps something the guests have not been asked before. If you are in the question line, stand all the way to the side, as to not block the view of others. Q&A sessions start at the listed time and end at the listed time of the next stage activity.
9) AUTOGRAPH & PHOTO OP TicketS: Please purchase autographs, photo ops & printed photos during Registration & Vendors Room hours! Tickets & merchandise will not be available once closed.
10) DRINK RESPONSIBLY: If you plan on having alcoholic beverages during our parties, the hotel BARTENDERS WILL BE CARDING and PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY! Don’t ruin your experience by overdoing it! UNDERAGE DRINKING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. SHOULD UNDERAGE DRINKING OCCUR OR WE BELIEVE IT IS OCCURING, HOTEL SECURITY WILL BE CALLED.
11) PRIVATE MEET & GREETS will almost always start on time and if you miss it, we cannot make up the time. Potential conflicts are posted in the schedule, so PLEASE make sure you follow the instructions in your meet & greet listing. If you need assistance, please let us know! No posting or transcribing of any kind allowed!
12) SECOND-HAND TICKETS: We don’t recommend buying tickets from anywhere but the Creation website or registration. All scannable tickets are checked and we can only allow the first one that goes through. After that, tickets with the same sku will come up as previously scanned. As of late, there have been more nice fans being taken advantage of when buying secondhand tickets, so please be careful as there is nothing we can do if your ticket shows up as previously scanned.
13) LOST OR MISPLACED ITEMS: As with any ticket event, we are not responsible for lost or misplaced tickets. We cannot replace autograph or photo op tickets that are purchased at the convention, so PLEASE make sure your tickets are kept in a safe and secure place. THANKS!
14) CURRENCY: Please note that all expenditures at the convention for tickets, merchandise, photo ops, etc. are done in American dollars and will be converted as such on your credit cards. Depending on the rate of exchange at the time your credit card processes, if you are not from America, the price(s) may vary.
15) HARASSMENT POLICY: Creation is dedicated to providing a safe and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion. We firmly believe in the ideals of one of our mentors, Star Trek’s creator, Gene Roddenberry. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind from anyone. Patrons violating these rules may be expelled from the convention (without a refund) at Creation’s discretion and hotel security may be called in to facilitate this response. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam or Gary immediately. All of them are available on-site and can be reached through registration or by the convention MC/Host. Issues of this importance should not be handled by our volunteers, as great as they are.
16) SMOKE-FREE: Creation events are smoke-free environments, which also includes the use of e-cigarettes and vapor. Please abide by these rules when attending our gatherings. Thanks!
17) SPECIAL NEEDS ASSISTANCE: If you have any questions, concerns or needs, please find the person wearing the blue t-shirt and they will be happy to assist.

OKAY, THAT’S IT! HAVE FUN!

6:00 pm 2017 UPGRADES!
Here’s where the great fans who already reserved their Gold Packages for next year get to try and get even better seats! We are coming back to the beautiful WESTIN O’HARE on SEPTEMBER 15-17, 2017!

All guests and scheduling are tentative and subject to change.

ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE.

In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation for ticketing. Also in the unlikely event, due to weather, transit issues or last-minute illness or other reason given by celebrity, an advertised guest does not make their appearance at the convention, Creation is not responsible for any refunds other than separate specific-to-the-guest autograph tickets or photo op tickets. In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops, Creation will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.

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. 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.

We are not responsible for orders that are rejected during processing that may be due to customer errors (usually caused because the customer does not complete the entire ordering process to the very end), credit card failures (usually caused when there is not enough funds in an account or the credit card company rejects the charge for any number of reasons including out of state ordering or unfamiliar ordering to the customers’ general pattern), or system errors during transmission of the order.

Creation assumes no responsibility for typographical errors or inaccurate information provided by convention venues. All dates, venues and guests are considered tentative and subject to change. Check back frequently for updates.

NOTE: ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIO OR VIDEOTAPING ALLOWED AT ANY CONVENTION. Still photography is for personal use only - public dissemination and commercial use strictly prohibited.

By attending Creation events you agree to allow your image to be used on our website and in news documentaries or stories, either filmed by Creation Entertainment or other entities.

All ticket prices are subject to change, please order as early as possible.

In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation Entertainment for ticketing. Also in the unlikely event, due to weather, transit issues or last minute illness or other reason given by celebrity, an advertised guest does not make their appearance at the convention, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for any refunds other than separate specific to the guest autograph tickets or photo op tickets. In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops (which has only happened in a hand full of cases over 40 plus years, always due to something out of our control) Creation Entertainment will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.
