We review the theory of $E_n$-algebras (roughly, algebras with $n$ compatible multiplications) and discuss $E_n$-deformation theory in the sense of Lurie. We then describe, to the best of our ability, the use of $E_n$-deformation theory in the on-going work of Calaque, Pantev, Toen, Vezzosi, and Vaquie about deformation quantization of derived stacks with shifted Poisson structure.
