Is there a regular updated overview of tickets sold out? Talks, Photos, Autos... Online or on site?

Just packing... - Boarding Pass, Train Tickets (International <-> New Street), Hotel reservation, DSTE tickets - Star Trek T-Shirts - Star Trek Pins - Camera, power packs - All talks and photo ops entered into Smartphone schedule - ...

I guess its fair to say that there will be more buying options that are bigger than any of our budgets. My last Trek convention was '99 but it was the case back then...

Good to know (-:

^^ depends on the infrastructure. Disney resorts and Liseberg theme park have an Aerohive WiFi network which allows 1000s of visitors at top speeds. Hope the NEC network is up to the task. Thanks for the answer.

Will there be WiFi available? I have data roaming but the included high speed volume - umts/lte - is only 150 MB per week...

Flying in from Hamburg, Germany

Honestly its kind of a let down for me that the parties are not at the convention venue - the downside of not having a congress hotel. As I have my hotel in Birmingham center I will likely skip the parties that are not inside one of the NEC halls as I don't know how connections from party location to New Street are at late evenings.

Who is staying near New Street? As craft beer fan will likely be found at Birmingham BewDog or PureCraft Kitchen in the evenings. Would be great to meet up!

The airport public areas have some service and self-service restaurants

I alos bought the double Dax shoot now while already having the Nicole DeBoer shoot. Would have been nice to upgrade - but whats wrong in meeting Nicole twice?

Any chance schedules and tickets will be out end of this week? My vacation starts next week and I don't have a printer at home...

My first Trek Convention since 1999 Hopping over from Hamburg. I'll be staying at Radisson Blu near New Street. As I also love craft beer hope to meet up with some of you at a local craft beer bar. Dunno if its okay to name them here - so if anyone interested IM me here or on Twitter Know me better: https://twitter.com/SimonProD

My priorities are Classic - one of the last chances to get that many actors from TOS - and DS9. So far quite happy with the lineup. Many actors have happily going careers so I think actors like Patrick Stewart (Blunt Talk promotion and a play going on) or Colm Meaney (The Journey promotion - seen pics of him at Venice Film Festival ) - and think this is also true for most nuTrek actors.

So far I only have photo ops booked for George Takei and Nicole DeBoer I wait for more until schedules are out as I don't want overlapping and miss something on my priorities. Would love to have a "DoubleDax" photo ops with Farell and DeBoer

I am staying at the Radisson Blu in Birmingham Centre - anyone up to hit a craft beer bar after the event?
