Star Trek’s Family Tree
For Star Trek's 60th anniversary, this panel explores the creative lineage that shaped the final frontier and the legacy it created in return. From early influences like Forbidden Planet and mid-century science fiction, to the groundbreaking ideas explored by Gene Roddenberry, and the countless films and series inspired by Trek, we map the franchise’s place in pop culture history. Featuring creators, historians, and special guests, this conversation highlights the ideas, ethics, and imagination that continue to define Star Trek across generations.

Designing the Future: 60 Years of Star Trek Visual Evolution
Star Trek’s vision of the future has been shaped as much by its design as its storytelling. From the clean optimism of the original Enterprise to the layered realism of modern Trek, this panel explores how artists and designers have defined the look and meaning of the future across six decades. Using rare materials from the Roddenberry Archive, we examine how design choices reflect changing ideas about technology and humanity.
