ABOUT DAM TIME (AGAIN)

After a long hiatus I'm back at DAM NY! In person for the first time in over 2 years, the jam-packed 2-day event buzzed about "governance". DAM masters Teresa Regli and David Lipsey (top left) spoke of battles to come for the exploding universe of metadata and taxonomy. An engaging session with a spirited panel (top right) spoke of the importance of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in your assets and how keywords and metadata to tag the human race has expanded and deserves mindful attention. I attended sessions led by SMEs from Stanley Black & Decker, Saks, Hilton,  CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.), CWB (Canadian Western Bank), FIFA, Hershey's, and Amazon. And of course, the networking – I met my new employer's DAM reps and some go-to experts (bottom left) and had in-depth discussions with old and new taxonomists, data librarians, and DAM admins from all backgrounds and fields including CBC, Rand McNally, Clinique, Central Garden and Pet, and Harvard Business Publishing. A DAM fine time! #damny #damny2022 #henrystewartevents
