The Mouse revealed some big announcements at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, including plans to bring its biennial D23 fan expo to streaming for the first time in the event's history. Portions of D23 — a pop culture convention that offers Disney super-fans sneak peeks, panels, and other special events — will be streamed live on Disney Plus when the event kicks off from August 9-11 in Anaheim, Calif.
Disney's Chief Brand Officer Asad Ayaz delivered the news during the company's fourth annual Tech and Data Showcase, a brand-focused event geared towards advertisers, at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. For this summer's D23, Disney is gearing up to "take it to a whole new level," Ayaz said, by leveraging its popular Disney Plus streaming platform while also adding other new elements like musical performances and exclusive shopping experiences. Tickets will go on sale on March 26.
