Home from Los Angeles after a wonderful week catching up with industry friends and meeting so many smart new people at Henry Stewart DAM Los Angeles 2023. Trends I noticed over the course of attending sessions, chatting over cocktails and listening to vendors:
working with new tools (AI, reporting) instead of around them
global workplace
breaking team silos
working apart, together
importance of rules/governance in trust
linking DAM to omnichannel platforms
ethics in data, especially valuing DEI goals
doing more with less
travel opening up
DAM career path
Thank you to everyone who connected with me - in person, over LinkedIn and here. I’m especially thankful to those who attended my session, DAM as a Brand Ambassador: How Digital Asset Management can be a Strong Ally of Your Brand Strategy. Your thoughtful questions helped continue the themes raised in my presentation and connected us in our shared goals. I feel like we could have kept the conversation going for another hour! I hope to see you in person again in NYC in the Fall, if not sooner.
