Convention Activities
The Panels and other Activities are also a very important part of the convention. STARFEST offers several different rooms of programming. MODEL SHOW- where you can show off your latest creation or learn to build one from one of the many kits offered. ART SHOW-original artwork and sculptures from your favorite Science Fiction Shows. You can learn to speak Klingon, make a costume, show off your talent, enjoy Karaoke, attend Starfleet Academy or enjoy one of many panel discussions.
There is also an interactive entertainment company called Mischief Managed Entertainment. They produce a Harry Potter inspired show called "Tales From Avistrum". The non-profit company started at the convention in 2001 as a fan group called 'Hogwarts America'. They have since become a staple for the Starfest convention.
In addition, past activities included media rooms for such things and Anime, rare episodes, SF movies, and foreign SF. For many years Saturday evenings ended with the latest Star Trek episode, a costume contest, a parody play, followed by a movie.

Famous quotes containing the words convention and/or activities:
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
