Company-run business conference on data and analytics hosted by The Walt Disney Company at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort (Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista/Orlando, FL), open to external attendees with vendor sponsors; site says it has run 'for nearly two decades' (2018 and earlier editions archived at archive.disneydataconference.com). Marketing copy cites 2,000+ (to 2023) and 2,500+ (2024 on) attendees from 250+ organizations. Since 2022 an optional paid Training Day precedes the two main conference days. 2020: the site advertised 'DDAC 2020' with registration open (May 2020), then switched to 'DDAC 2021' by Aug 2020 without dates or a published notice; 2021 was scheduled for Nov 30-Dec 1, 2021 with registration open, but by Oct 2021 the site had switched to 'DDAC 2022'. Neither 2020 nor 2021 appears to have been held, but no official cancellation notice was found, so no edition files were written for them. Social links are the conference's own accounts.
