What is the #BoldlyGo50 InstaMeet?

On September 8, 9 and 10, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series with a variety of events, including the Museum's first ever InstaMeet. #BoldlyGo50 InstaMeet participants have the opportunity to spend time with the recently restored Star Trek starship Enterprise studio model, as well as:

What is an InstaMeet?

An InstaMeet is an informal meeting of people who are active on Instagram. National Air and Space Museum InstaMeets provide the Museum's Instagram followers with the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes, see our collections, interact with our experts, and sometimes meet special guests. Participants can expect an experience lasting about one hour and some free time to explore the Museum, talk with other Instagrammers, and meet staff behind the Museum's social media outreach.

How do I register?

Registration opens at 12 pm EDT on Friday, August 19 and the deadline to apply is 12 pm EDT on Friday, August 26. A maximum of 15 Instagrammers will be selected to attend the InstaMeet. Registration is for one person only and is non-transferable. You must be 18 years or older to register. Participants will be notified via email no later than Friday, August 19. Instagrammers are selected from those who sign up on the web. Additional registrants are placed on a waiting list.

Do I need to have an Instagram account to register for a National Air and Space Museum InstaMeet? 

Yes, National Air and Space Museum InstaMeets are designed for active Instagrammers who follow the Museum. The goal of our InstaMeets is to allow people who regularly interact with the Museum and each other via Instagram to meet in person and share the experience of visiting the Museum's collections, experts, and programs.

The Fine Print (Terms & Conditions):

Registrants must follow the National Air and Space Museum on Instagram and actively share content.

Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to be eligible for selection to attend the InstaMeet. Registration is for one person only and is not transferable. If you are selected for the InstaMeet but cannot attend, please let the Museum know and your space will be given to another registrant on the wait list.

InstaMeet participants are responsible for their own expenses for travel, accommodations, food and incidentals. Please let the Museum know if you have any special needs or accessibility requirements prior to arriving for the event.

Some events and participants scheduled to appear at the InstaMeet are subject to change without notice. The Smithsonian is not responsible for loss or damage incurred as a result of attending. The Smithsonian, moreover, is not responsible for loss or damage incurred in the event it cancels the event with limited or no notice. Please plan accordingly.

On the day of the InstaMeet, registrants must show a government issued ID (driver's license or passport) that matches the name provided on the registration. Those without proper identification cannot be admitted.

All InstaMeet participants will be asked to sign a release form allowing the Smithsonian to use images or video taken of you and posts created by you about the event.
