From the program book: 
* Fan Club Panel: "Saturday: One of most frequently asked questions about fan clubs is... WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO? Our Saturday panel will give you a chance to ask the representatives of several national clubs that very question. Sunday: The power of fandom lies in our ability to work together for a common goal. THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD! Sunday's session will address the influence fans have on Star Trek and areas of potential concern to us all."
* Trek Jeopardy: "This is a take-off of the popular TV game, featuring Trek-oriented questions. Contestants will be chosen from the audience, and prizes will be awarded to the winners!"
* Masquerade: "Let's party!!! Our late-nite masquerade will feature a live band (who will take requests) and a cash bar at which you can purchase a variety of Syntheholic (non-alcoholic) beverages. The hotel bar will provide service for those who prefer something stronger. Our costume call and judging will take place during the party."
* Klingon Makeup Workshop: "The Klingon Assault Group is holding an open workshop on makeup and costumes. This is a must for anyone who wants to improve their Klingon look!"

During this time you will meet with our Guests of Honor, have a chance to view and purchase some amazing merchandise, participate in panel discussions of all sorts, try the trivia contest, and perhaps even find a Klingon date."
"This convention is for the enjoyment of all and for the benefit of missing children. All proceeds from the convention, except for seed money for the next year's convention, will be donated to the Kevin Collins Foundation of San Francisco. By the fans for the fans."
"Think you have something to offer, want to be part of KLING-KON *95, then call us and let us decide on your worthiness! If your act is as entertaining as a Pain Stick then don't bother (most Humans can't take it), but if you think you have what it takes then call Mary Cordero [phone number redacted]. We always need a few live targets for the Disruptor fire contest. We are looking for demonstrations/reenactors, panelists, artists (sketch, paint, or draw), etc... Additional events are being added as this flyer is printed. A Live Action Role Playing event is planned from the local chapter of LAGA."
It included: Trivia Contest, bat'telh Demonstration, Klingon Opera, Costume Contest, Unique Merchandise, Autograph sessions, the Klingon Dating Game, plus a number of panels on Klingon-style makeup.
