Createasphere’s Digital Asset Management Conference in New York City is September 21, 22 and 23, 2011 at the New Yorker Hotel. Among the events during these three days are many presentations, panel discussions and seminars including:

Understanding the Connection of Digital Assets with Metadata: Filtering Data into Information into Knowledge
Reflecting on the Knowledge Pyramid, once we realize the amount of data there is available, and filter it to select the information we need as metadata, we learn how this data can help use assets with other content in the proper context. Hear how our panel of experts tackle best practices for metadata that empowers your organization.

This will be with the following panelists:

  • Sarah Berndt, NASA
  • Skiff Wager, SEW Consulting

What is your DAM title?


While seemingly more unimportant nowadays, business titles within an organization can sometimes explain a person’s functional role, authority, seniority and/or pay grade.

I have blogged about a variety of DAM titles used within the Digital Asset Management field, like Digital Asset Specialist (DAS), Digital Asset Management Manager (DAMMmmmm), DAM Director (DAMD), DAM VP or the title I have at this time… Digital Asset Manager.

I hosted a podcast where I interviewed someone who has a DAM title that will catch people’s attention.  Instead of calling himself Digital Asset Manager, he was creative enough to come up with Darth Lord of the DAM and includes this on his business card.

Better than some other business cards I have heard of.

It sounds better than DAM lord. That is similar to another movie I saw. And he likely prefers it his way. No helmet required.

If you work in the field of Digital Asset Management, what is your DAM title?
