While quite an unusual conference event, I have to say I was a little disappointed it wasn't weirder. There were people walking around in character, but I only saw three of them, and only heard two of them speak. Those two did seem knowledgeable though, as a big Star Trek junkie in line with me began recounting the current Klingon political crisis to the Klingon actress. I was more impressed that she was able to keep up to be honest, and she did tell us the weaknesses of the borg while we were waiting in line for the ride, Invasion of the Borg. The two rides were definitely the highlight, with simulators mixed with action (like running down a corridor away from the Borg). I can't say I was thrilled about being poked in unusual places by the simulation chair, but I was pretty convinced by the teleporter transporting us to another room.
The borg was able to quickly identify Blackboard dev conference attendees as a similar life form to itself and engaged in conversation.
Other characters from Star Trek included Scotty the carving chef, serving strange and foreign delicacies such as pork loin (h'gawth kkwartk in Klingon), pasta, and spring rolls.
Bonus points available for the first to give the names of the four ships hanging from the ceiling.
