JOIN DISNEY AT LIGHTBOX EXPO 2026
Our Disney creative teams are attending Lightbox Expo this October and would love to meet you!
For over 100 years, creativity has been the foundation on which The Walt Disney Company was built. Today, our teams design timeless movies, craft episodic storytelling and build experiences to connect with people throughout the world. Join Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Lucasfilm Animation, Industrial Light & Magic, Walt Disney Television Animation, Walt Disney Imagineering and 20th Century Studios at Lightbox Expo Oct. 23-25 in Pasadena, California! This year, you can connect with us at our booth #1201, gain inspiration in presentations at our suite, or sign up to be considered for an in-person meet-and-greet or portfolio review. Please note these connection opportunities are only open to those attending Lightbox Expo in person.
Meet & Greet Participants
Please click on your brands of interest to sign up for a chance to be selected for a meet-and-greet during the expo. These meet-and-greets are intended for networking and learning more about our studios and are not tied to current open positions. There will be a limited number of on-site meetings during LightBox.
