The D23 Expo began in 2009 as a bi-annual expo celebrating all things Disney. The expo lasts three days at the Anaheim convention center in California. Behind the scenes sneak peaks at upcoming films, celebrity appearances, presentations such as Disney Legends awards ceremonies, what’s coming to Disney Parks & Resorts, Walt Disney Archives, and much more.

Just an FYI that the Disneyland DIS team did a podcast covering the event this past Sunday - gave a good overview of the event, shared some of their experiences from past events, and gave some tips and tricks. Also mentioned they will likely organize some sort of meet-up either before or during the event

I am sure this was posted in the Disneyland thread, but thought I would mention it here as well - just finished listening to it and I enjoyed it and it made me want to attend even more (can't this year, but thinking about trying to make 2019 work)
