DAM hits the bright lights

Acknowledging the growing interest in Digital Asset Management, the US National Association of Broadcasters has announced a DAM conference stream and pavilion for its 2004 convention, to be held in Las Vegas. Playing a seminal role in shaping the program and exhibits will be the Global Society for Asset Management (G-SAM), which recently launched a chapter in Australia.

Richard Eberhart, founder and executive director of G-SAM will serve as chair of the program advisory council. "We are delighted to have been chosen by NAB to chair the advisory council for the Digital Asset Management Pavilion on the first anniversary of our founding," said Eberhart, "as well as for the opportunity to find synergies between the highly related fields of network storage and security."The sessions will focus on issues facing digital asset management, including metadata standards, intellectual property rights management, justifying costs, security, archiving, new revenue models and managing expectations and growth. The DAM exhibition pavilion will provide a central forum at NAB for leading experts from the DAM, storage and security markets to present educational sessions that showcase global best practices."The importance of digital asset management to the electronic media communities is becoming more apparent as each year passes" said Chris Brown, senior vice president, Conventions & Expositions, NAB. "There were more than 80 companies featuring digital asset management at NAB2003. NAB has tapped into G-SAM's expertise and industry knowledge to add focus and clarity to the show floor and take the DAM pavilion to the next level." NAB2004 will take place April 17 - 22, 2004 in Las Vegas (exhibits open April 19). For further details log onto either www.damconference.com; www.nab.org or www.g-sam.orgRelated Article:
