This involves:

  • DAM Professionals
  • People aspiring to become DAM Professionals
  • People interested in DAM

DAM DC is organized by Henrik de Gyor (the blogger writing this post) and David Lipsey. Both are are passionate about DAM.

DAM DC is about:

If you don’t have a DAM Meetup group near you, but you know of other DAM Community members in your area, create your own DAM Meetup group in your area.  If we can create a DAM Meetup, you can too.

From pre-DAM to workflows with DAM: Identifying your use cases

In the initial research of Digital Asset Management solutions for your organization, pre-DAM use cases are analysed to help decide on the best DAM solution for your organization’s business needs. This is not simply management’s need, but the potential DAM users’ needs with all their real world workflows. We will walk through how to do this from A to Z, including commonly forgotten parts of the workflow.

Of course, if you are reading this blog, you can save $100 by registering for DAM LA 2010 Conference by using the discount code.

You can also save on the hotel reservations with a special discounted room rate by requesting the group rate for the Henry Stewart Events or simply book the hotel online.
