When the pandemic began in early 2020, I started to keep track of various Trek or Trek-related events in a form of a continuously updated list published in various Facebook groups. The sudden explosion of virtual talks, presentations and hangouts proved to be overwhelming, and I hope that the list helped others to navigate the online existence.
With this page, I have re-worked the presentation of the list since it became a bit unwieldy to read clearly, especially with the eventual return and proliferation of the in-person events.
The list is by no means comprehensive, but I do hope I get to capture most of the main events of interest for a Trek fan. Please note that the recurring and ongoing events are listed at the bottom.
