Dragon*Con is one of our favorite conventions here at The Convention Fans Blog. I’ve been attending every year since 2005, and 2011 is shaping up to be yet another great year. Although the convention isn’t happening until Labor Day, there are already more than 60 guests named (with more to come).

This past weekend was Megacon, a long-running Orlando convention. Held in the sprawling Orange County Convention Center, it has an estimated attendance of 20,000. Programing spans many different entertainment genres, with gaming, anime screenings, speed dating, live performances and panels.

MegaCon 2011 is in Orlando, Florida on March 25th – 27th, 2010. Shatner & Lee join the impressive list of Guests.

Yesterday Creation Entertainment, the only company authorized to hold official Star Trek conventions, announced that they would be returning to Phoenix, Arizona in 2011. For those who may not know, the year 2011 marks the 45th anniversary of Star Trek. Creation is celebrating that milestone with additional cities added to their official Star Trek convention tour.

Creation Entertainment’s Official STAR TREK Convention LAS VEGAS: Celebrating the 45th Anniversary is heading towards our brand new venue, the Rio All Suites & Casino Hotel, and we’re rolling out the red carpet for fans throughout the galaxy to be with us for this history making event! It all happens August 11-14, 2011 and today we are VERY happy to announce that the incredible WILLIAM SHATNER will be headlining.
