What can tech teams learn from a theme park? More than you might think. Disney is known for crafting magical experiences: not just in their parks, but in the way they approach design, storytelling, and creating spaces where people feel valued and inspired.

In this talk, I’ll share lessons from Disney that we can apply to our work in tech. Whether building a great internal developer culture, designing memorable events, or fostering engaged and supportive communities, the principles Disney uses to create unforgettable experiences can help us craft environments where people feel connected, motivated, and excited to contribute.

Drawing on my own experiences as both a tech professional and a Disney fan, I’ll highlight practical ideas for creating a sense of wonder and purpose in everything you do. You’ll leave with actionable insights to bring a little Disney magic into your work and make a meaningful impact.
