About the Speaker
Bob Weis
Bob Weis is a dreamer who believes that if you can imagine it, you can do it. He was an Imagineer over a 40-year span, from 1980 to 2023. During that time, Weis worked on every Disney park and resort around the world. He was President of Walt Disney Imagineering from 2016 to 2022, and then as a Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador after that. His passion for storytelling and creative collaboration, new technologies, and the vibrancy of the guest experience has driven him through projects from Tokyo Disneyland, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Tokyo DisneySea, Disney California Adventure Park, and Shanghai Disney Resort. Weis also led the creative development of the new Triton class of cruise ships, the first of which was the critically acclaimed Disney Wish. Outside of Disney, Weis has served as a consultant to the Kennedy Space Center, Smithsonian, New York City’s Rockefeller Center, the U. S. Navy, and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
