In the same week a 40th birthday convention was announced, which was held in [[Hammersmith]], [[London]] in February 2017.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=<!--no byline-->|date=2 March 2017|title=Sci-fi comic still has thrill power|journal=Nature|type=Editorial|volume=543|issue=7643|page=6|doi=10.1038/543006a|pmid=28252083|bibcode=2017Natur.543....6. |quote=Many of them gathered in London last month to celebrate the 40th birthday of the self-proclaimed Galaxy's Greatest Comic|doi-access=free}}</ref> At the convention itself, it was announced by the Kingsley brothers that Rebellion would be willing to speak to outside software developers on developing ''2000 AD'''s intellectual property. In the same year, former editor Steve MacManus published his memoirs, ''The Mighty One: My Life Inside The Nerve Centre''. In 2017, founding editor Pat Mills published his memoirs, ''Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! 2000 AD and Judge Dredd: The Secret History''. Later in that year, [[Hachette (publishing)|Hachette Partworks]] began publishing ''[[2000 AD: The Ultimate Collection]]'', initially an 80-volume fortnightly series of hardback books featuring classic stories from the first 40 years of the comic. Now the Collection has been extended to 180 volumes. This followed the success of ''[[Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection]]'', which had started in 2015 and later been extended to 90 volumes. In June 2018 (July in the United States) a special issue was published, the ''2000 AD Sci-Fi Special 2018'', which contained stories written and illustrated entirely by women.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-06-20|title=The future's female? 2000AD's all-women special|url=http://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/20/the-futures-female-2000ads-all-women-special|access-date=2022-12-16|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> Starting in May 2019, ''2000 AD'' began publishing periodic "all ages" issues every quarter, marketed as ''2000 AD Regened'', and targeted at younger readers. In these sixteen issues, ''Judge Dredd'' was replaced by ''Cadet Dredd'' stories. This lasted until November 2023.
