This was fun, didn't expect it to end up being quite so long, but here we go:
Picard retired from Starfleet shortly after the events of Nemesis - his encounter with Shinzon shook him on a very personal level and the loss of Data, who he regarded as a son, deeply upset him. He spent a few years indulging his love of archaeology before becoming Federation ambassador to Romulus, successfully negotiating a treaty to end hostilities and make the Romulan Empire a formal ally of the Federation. He then returned to Earth to enjoy his retirement at the old family vineyard in LaBarre.
Riker captained the Titan for several years, making first contact with many new species and becoming quite a successful diplomat in his own right, something he credits to all those years working under Picard. Although considered a competent captain and a safe pair of hands, he was no longer regarded as the dynamic maverick he was at the beginning of his tenure on the Enterprise, and as such never got a shot at the 'big chair' he coveted for so long. He always saw himself as a career captain but after a string of commands (including the USS Lollipop) he finally agrees to take a promotion to Admiral and a desk job at Starfleet Command at Troi's behest so that they can raise their children together and in safety. He yearns to be back out among the stars.
Data's memories were unable to be recovered from B4's brain without permanently damaging him. B4 remains his simple childlike self, though occasionally has moments of 'lucidity' and clarity when he is able to offer a surprisingly accurate comment, insight or analysis. If you didn't know any better, you could swear it was Data himself speaking. He now lives with Picard at his vineyard.
Geordi spent a few more years as chief engineer on the Enterprise-E before its destruction at the hands of an angry space baby. Deciding to pursue a command of his own, he served as Riker's XO on the Titan for a couple of years before finally gaining command of the Challenger (which he loved, as he cut his teeth on the 'old' Galaxy Class). He is now retired from Starfleet and has gone back to engineering in a civilian capacity, designing warp drive systems. He still can't talk to girls.
Troi served as Counselor on the Titan, but later gave that up in order to pursue her own private psychiatry practice on Betazed (a difficult job when everyone can hear each others' thoughts), taking her and Riker's children to live with her there. She later persuaded Riker to give up the life of a starship captain, and they moved back to Earth.
Beverly Crusher left the Enterprise at the same time as Picard, returning to Starfleet Medical. She wrote several papers based on her experiences as CMO of the Enterprise, and is considered one of the foremost experts on the treatment of liberated Borg drones. She now teaches classes on starship medicine at the Academy.
During his stint as Federation ambassador to Qo'noS, Worf found despite being part of Martok's family he was still ostracised by most Klingons as being 'tainted' by humans. Returning to Starfleet, the one place he felt truly accepted, he spent some time on DS9 as Kira's second officer and security chief before returning to starship life. Due to his actions during the Dominion War he never achieved a command of his own, though he had a distinguished career as a first officer, serving on many ships in this capacity (including for a brief time one of Riker's later commands). Due to Klingons' long lifespans, he is still in his prime, a mere 70 or so years old, and still out there serving on starships. He still craves one day to die in glorious battle and join Jadzia in Stovokor.
Miles O'Brien is still a grumpy engineering lecturer (with a heart of gold, though he doesn't like showing it) at the Academy. He dotes on his wife Keiko, his son and daughter and his five grandchildren. Once a year, he gets mysteriously abducted and subjected to unspeakable horrors which take several months of counseling to recover from. He regularly meets up with Julian Bashir to visit the Alamo.
Wesley Crusher returned from exploring other planes of existence to work as a Lieutenant (jg) on the engineering night shift on the Titan. While there, he single handedly saved the ship from destruction no less than seventeen times. When Riker got sick of him, he went to Jupiter station to study B4 and try to find a way to recover Data's personality. To aid him in this, he reactivated Lore's head, who, despite being evil, genuinely loved his brother and tried to assist Wesley, though he constantly told Wes to shut up, kept trying to trick him into putting his head back onto his body and once tried to kill him by using his neural interface to hack into the station's systems and blow out an airlock. Despite this, Lore has mellowed in his old age and he and Wes have become friends. Having determined there was no way to extract Data from B4, he sent B4 to live with Picard and stayed on at Jupiter station. Wes keeps Lore's head in his quarters, where they get into hilarious 'odd couple' arguments and occasional (and entirely 'accidental') near-death experiences.
As for the incident that reunites them, I don't know - my brain is burned out from imagining where they all are 'now'. The usual Federation/galaxy threatening threat, I guess? Maybe one of the enemies/entities they all defeated back on the Enterprise-D has returned, bigger and stronger.
Maybe the real Enterprise (F? G even?) can make a cameo at some point, or join up with the heroes later, swooping in for the rescue when their old jalopy is about to bite the (space)dust. I'd like to see an all-new crew on it, no familiar faces. All clearly super competent. Bright, young, the best of the best - with a seasoned captain they all look up to, and a familiar cameraderie. The next Next Generation.

If most (or all) of the gang have moved on from Starfleet and on with their lives, I think it'd be more fitting if they used a scrounged/borrowed/salvaged/stolen old rustbucket of a ship that they rechristen Enterprise for the purpose of their mission, maybe painting the name on the hull by hand as Kirk & co did with their stolen Klingon ship.
