Starfleet in São Paulo: Trek Brasilis Joins CCXP Guild to Champion Brazilian Trekkers!
Brazilians, prepare to engage! We’ve just received breaking news from the heart of South American fandom: Trek Brasilis, the premier Star Trek fan site for Portuguese-speaking Trekkers, has been officially chosen to represent the community in the newly formed CCXP Guild. This is a monumental step forward for Star Trek fans in one of the world’s most vibrant pop culture markets. It signals a new era of direct fan input at the globe’s largest comic and entertainment convention.
The CCXP Guild is an exciting initiative by the organizers of CCXP São Paulo, designed to foster deeper interaction and coordination with the diverse fan communities attending the annual December event. Imagine a direct pipeline for feedback, desires, and unique needs from various fandoms, all aiming to make CCXP even more inclusive and incredible. From collectors to RPG enthusiasts, and cinematic connoisseurs, the Guild covers a vast galaxy of interests.
Trek Brasilis’s Editor-in-Chief, Salvador Nogueira, was on hand at the inaugural Guild meeting, hosted by Marcelo Forlani and João Jedi, representing the Star Trek contingent. His presence ensures that the unique perspective and passion of Brazilian Starfleet cadets and admirals alike will be heard directly by the convention’s leadership. This partnership is poised to enrich the CCXP experience significantly for every Star Trek devotee.
The relationship between Trek Brasilis and CCXP is far from new; it’s a legacy spanning years. Nogueira fondly recalls their content exchange from “back when the internet was still the wild west,” a testament to their long-standing camaraderie. This deep history ensures a foundation of trust and mutual respect as they embark on this new frontier.
Their past collaborations have already left a considerable mark on the convention circuit and the Star Trek universe:
* In 2016, during the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, Nogueira himself hosted a memorable panel featuring Adam Nimoy and David Zappone for the documentary For the Love of Spock.
* Trek Brasilis conducted an exclusive interview with the cast of Star Trek: Picard at CCXP 2019, bringing fans closer to their beloved crew.
* Just last year, editor Gustavo Gobbi chatted with Paul Giamatti about Starfleet Academy and later traveled to CCXP MX to interview the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
* The recent STXP, a Trek Brasilis event celebrating 60 years of Star Trek, even featured a panel with Érico Borgo, co-founder of Omelete and CCXP.
CCXP itself has grown into a source of immense national pride for Brazil, becoming a global reference point for Hollywood studios and a notable pop culture export. With successful ventures already in Mexico and Germany, and an upcoming launch in South Korea, its influence is expanding like a dilithium-powered warp core. Trek Brasilis’s inclusion in the Guild means Star Trek will be at the forefront of this ever-growing cosmic journey.
Nogueira expressed optimism that their presence in the CCXP Guild will help the event become even more relevant and welcoming for Star Trek fans. For Trekkers worldwide, this move signifies an exciting future where fan communities play an integral role in shaping the biggest pop culture events. Prepare for warp speed, Brazil!
The Nerd Bureau Take: This is a fantastic development for the Star Trek fandom, not just in Brazil, but globally. It’s a bold step by CCXP to empower fan voices, and with a dedicated, expert outlet like Trek Brasilis at the helm for Trekkers, we can expect even more incredible Star Trek experiences at the convention. Long live diversity in fandom representation!
