I saw in the news the actors are not allowed to do any promotion of current or past works including:

  • Tours
  • Personal appearances
  • Interviews
  • Conventions
  • Fan expos
  • Festivals
  • Panels

If the strike is not resolved by August 3rd will Star Trek Las Vegas be delayed? My wife and I already arranged time off work and made other reservations to coincide with our trip. I am extremely nervous if everything will be able to moved, if we still be able to attend the new dates, or if not, how much of it can be refunded.

How long do you think the strike will go on for? Have there been any official updates from the event organizers? I don’t see anything about it on their website or twitter so far.

Edit: Armin Shimerman tweeted they are not not prevented from making appearances related to past projects! This is encouraging, but still seems like it might be iffy for actors on the currently airing shows? Hopefully there will be more communication soon.

Edit 2: Anson Mount suggests the con wont be affected since they’re making personal appearances. I do hope he answers the next reply asking for explicit confirmation of his attendance though.

Edit 3: Creation Entertainment finally confirmed the con will continue as planned, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every panel will still be held.

Edit 4: Creation Entertainment deleted the previous tweet and posted a new one saying the conventions will continue as planned with the current guidelines in mind. People attending the currently ongoing Creation Entertainment event for The Vampire Diaries Orlando are reporting the panels are not allowed to discuss the show at all, even though it has already concluded.

Edit 5: Armin Shimerman and Anson Mount are now uncertain about STLV. I really hope they are able to negotiate an end to the strike soon. If they can’t manage that or reach an agreement for independent conventions, I will be out of pocket for some of my arrangements, but I’d much rather Creation Entertainment postpone the con than force us into a convention without actors who are able to talk about Trek.

My guess is this will be a long one, so start getting refunds now. But it’s just a guess.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
