By Ambassador Kael | Thu 31 Mar 2022 09:30:00 AM PDT

It's almost time! Star Trek: Mission Chicago is coming to McCormick Place in Chicago, IL from April 8th - 10th, 2022, and Star Trek Online will be there! It's going to be an incredible weekend full of Trek stars like William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, Anthony Rapp, Alexander Siddig, Walter Keonig, Nana Visitor, Mary Chieffo, Noah Averbach-Katz, Chase Masterson, and so, so many more. With all of that amazing talent on hand, and so many panels to go to, we wanted to make sure you knew where and when to find out about Star Trek Online in that space. Without further ado, here is our entire schedule for the weekend:
