Apple CEO Tim Cook will kick off “D10: All Things Digital” (http://allthingsd.com/category/conferences/), the tenth annual gathering of high-tech elite billed as “conversations with the most influential figures in media and technology.”

He’ll appear tonight at 6 pm (Pacific). It will be Cook’s first appearance at D, as well as his first time being onstage at an event not run by Apple or for investors since he was named CEO last August.
