For the past 15 years, the annual 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 Media Conference has hosted some of the biggest lights in Hollywood's firmament to speak to fellow media professionals about the entertainment business. And this year is no exceptiongraced with not one, but two, of the most successful executives in Disney history.

The 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 Media Conference is proud to announce the addition of Disney luminary and former Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, Dick Cook.

To host a man of Dicks stature on the heels of navigating one of the most beloved film brands in history affords us an unprecedented, candid opportunity to learn from a true media giant, states Jack Hafer, chairman of 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Cinema and Media Arts Department.

As a 38-year Disney veteran, Dick Cook oversaw all aspects of the development, production, distribution and marketing for all live-action and animated films released under the Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures and Miramax banners worldwide. He was also responsible for Disney's worldwide home entertainment operations, as well as Walt Disney Music Group, Walt Disney Theatrical Productions, Disney-ABC Domestic and International Television, among other areas.

"I have loved every minute of my 38 years that I have worked at Disney ... from the beginning as a ride operator on Disneyland's steam train and monorail to my position as chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, stated Cook.

Under Cooks leadership, Walt Disney Studios has been one of the leading global distributors achieving numerous milestones, which include releasing 60 films that have grossed more than $100 million each domestically. No other studio has accomplished this extraordinary feat. Additionally, Cook has been at the forefront of the digital cinema boom. In 2005, he and his team brought together Dolby Laboratories, ILM and Real D for the successful deployment of 3D-enabled digital cinema systems and the first digital 3D premiere with the motion picture Chicken Little in Disney Digital 3D.  Since then, Disney has released more digital 3D movies then any other studio.

During his tenure, Cook has overseen such box-office successes as the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Up, Enchanted, The Lion King, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Remember the Titans, Beauty and the Beast, The Sixth Sense, and Princess Diaries among many others.
