When the last star dies, when the last black hole evaporates, the universe will be left with just photons, electrons, and neutrinos (and their antiparticles). These will never meet, or if in very very rare circumstances they do meet, no new mass/energy conversion will happen.

There is some wild speculation that there might be another Big Bang of some sort, born out of quantum foam … but there is no way to test that idea.
