This year, Bob Rogers – founder and chairman of BRC Imagination Arts – will bring together the creative minds behind Walt Disney World's Epcot as moderator and curator of the Legends Panel. The annual panel discussion, which will be held as part of the IAAPA Expo in Orlando (Conference, Nov. 14-17), is titled “Legends 2022: Epcot, 40 Years in a State of Becoming.” this year.

As the park is celebrating its 40th anniversary, this year’s panel focuses on tools and learnings that come from creating and continually evolving Epcot. This year’s panel features speakers including Bob Weis, Global Ambassador for Walt Disney Imagineering, Jodi McLaughlin, Executive Portfolio Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, Kartika Rodriguez, Vice President at Epcot, and Rick Rothschild, founder and CCO of FAR Out! Creative Direction. The speakers aim to provide attendees with insights they can apply to their own careers and projects.

“We could not be happier with the speaker lineup we have for this year’s Legends panel,” said Michael Shelton, vice president and executive director, IAAPA North America. “[…] Getting to focus on Epcot as it turns 40 should offer greater insight into the future of the park and provide inspiration to everyone in attendance.”

The Legends Panel will take place as part of the Education Conference as one of some 100 EDUSessions offered during IAAPA Expo 2022 on Nov. 16 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Orange County Convention Center. (eap)
