Alexander Siddig to Appear at Virtual Trek Con

By  | 

With in-person Star Trek and pop culture conventions canceled this year due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, online gatherings are emerging to fill the void. One of the largest of these is Virtual Trek Con, organized by Cirroc Lofton and Ryan Husk from The 7th Rule podcast.

Virtual Trek Con is scheduled for July 15-20 and promises Q&A sessions with special guests, including Alexander Siddig, Nana Visitor, Nichelle Nichols, Robert Beltran, and many more. All aspects of the con are free of charge but you can support the event with a donation or become a patron of The 7th Rule.

And because cons are nothing without audience participation, the Virtual Trek Con team is looking for fan submissions in the following categories:

  • Aron Eisenberg Tribute
  • Rene Auberjonois Tribute
  • VTC Welcome Shout Outs
  • Star Trek Cosplay
  • VTC Cosplay Contest
  • VTC Virtual Vendors Room
  • Star Trek Podcasts
  • VTC Farewell Pool Party
  • Star Trek Jokes
  • Thank You to Medical/Essential Professionals

The schedule of events is TBA but we’ll announce when Sid is participating as soon as we know. In the meantime, visit the Virtual Trek Con website for more information.

Mel started a fan site for Siddig in 1996, as a way to learn HTML and to promote his charitable endeavors. In 1998, he proposed that it become his official fan site; she quickly agreed and a long-distance friendship was born. You can reach Mel at mel[at]sidcity[dot]net.
