Small poster, the
1974 International Star Trek Convention, which was the third annual event held in New York City. The convention took place at the Americana Hotel from February 15-18, 1974. It drew a large crowd, with attendance estimated to be between 10,000 and 14,000 people.
This event is notable for its large attendance, which was significantly higher than the average science fiction convention at the time. The large crowd also led to some issues, including fire marshal concerns that caused people to be turned away and a "small riot" in front of the hotel. The convention's committee also had some internal issues, with a post-convention announcement distancing themselves from one of the members. The poster itself features a stylized image of the USS Enterprise, the iconic starship from the original series. |
