About Trek Long Island

Trek Long Island is a three-day science fiction convention celebrating the world of Star Trek and the fans who love it. Our event brings together celebrities, authors, scientists, artists, podcasters, and fans from across the science fiction community for an unforgettable weekend of entertainment, learning, and fun.

Created by the founder of Library for the Kind, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion through children's literacy, Trek Long Island celebrates more than science fiction—it embraces the hopeful future envisioned by Gene Roddenberry. Inspired by his belief that humanity can overcome prejudice through understanding, exploration, and cooperation, our convention welcomes fans of all backgrounds to learn, connect, and celebrate together. Every guest, panel, and activity reflects our commitment to building an inclusive community where everyone belongs.
