This event can be seen as a replacement for [[StarCitizen:CitizenCon|Citizencon]], which has been canceled this year. This event is leading up to the game's release, whose [[StarCitizen:release date]] was recently pushed back from 2026 to Q2 2027.

Participants received a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) prior to the event, this allows for public discussion of their general experience but prohibits photography, video, and audio recording as well as certain elements intentionally hidden by CIG.

The invitation specifies that travel and accommodation costs are to be borne by the participants, although CIG plans to provide information on nearby discounted accommodation options.

On October 10th, the second day of the event, Squadron 42 was made available on [[StarCitizen:Steam]] along with its new trailer, allowing people to wishlist the game.<ref name=":0" />
