• Hallmark will be featuring two convention-exclusive Keepsake Ornaments, including their 50th Anniversary NCC-1701 release we covered back in April.

Lastly, the Starfleet Academy Experience at the USS Intrepid is just a few blocks away, and will be operating all convention weekend for guests wanting to join Starfleet themselves.
