During the Createasphere DAM Conference in New York City, I will be moderating a live panel discussion about:
What are the Phases of DAM? From Implementation of a DAM to the Evolution of Your DAM – How Do You Plan?
At the time of this posting, this session is scheduled on September 23, 2010 from 4:10 PM-5:20 PM at The New Yorker Hotel
At the time of this posting, the panel discussion is scheduled to include:
Some discounts are still available to attend this Conference.
Before the conference, the moderator will be crowdsourcing some questions for this panel discussion from the DAM Community in advance. We will be taking questions from the audience that day as well.
Later on, there will be a blog post to answer the question…
What are the Phases of DAM?
Within one year, two DAM professionals have formed a successful DAM Meetup group.
Chad Beer and Michael Hollitscher created NYC Digital Asset Managers on Meetup.com. They organize events for those interested in Digital Asset Management (DAM) about every month in New York City. So what is so interesting about this? Over 150 people have joined as members. The meetup sometimes has a waiting list because the events are so popular and space is limited. The topics are intriguing and so are the speakers.
There is a DAM Meetup (also referred to as a DAM Tweetup) scheduled on September 22, 2010 at 7:00 pm. Join us at Cooper’s Tavern inside the New Yorker Hotel. This is the evening before the Createasphere DAM Conference in New York City.
So, what are DAM professionals in other major cities waiting for? They can create their own local DAM Meetup Group as well. Follow the example. Plan one event per month around a DAM topic or just start with a DAM Tweetup for some social time between members of your DAM community. Mention the existence of the Meetup group on email lists (not spam), LinkedIn and Twitter. As long as the group can plan consistent events about interesting DAM topics, the meetup group will grow by word of mouth. That is what happened successfully with NYC Digital Asset Managers and you can do this in your metropolitan area as well.
The unity of DAM professionals can help each other to gain support, share ideas and enrich your knowledge about DAM. The idea is to thrive with DAM. That can be achieved with the generosity of your time together. Whom else could do this better than other people who understand what we do. You are not alone. Network together and learn together.
Do you have DAM Meetup Group in your area?
There are several DAM podcasts available. Now Another DAM blog is available as a podcast with each blog post to be read by the author himself. If that was not enough to interest people in listening to Another DAM podcast, the author is adding brief interviews with members of the global DAM community. This is an ongoing podcast series about DAM professionals by DAM professionals.
