Mike Maziarka, Director of InfoTrends/CAP Ventures' Dynamic Content Software Strategies Consulting Service, leads this exciting track filled with dynamic speakers and presentations that are essential in understanding the strategies, trends, IT architectures, key technologies, and future directions of digital asset management solutions for text and image management. The conference includes the following sessions:

• State of the Market – Analysis of Asset Management in Pre-Press, Publishing, and Enterprise Publishing
• The Image Repository as a Profit Center
• How to Ensure that Color Images are Brand Accurate, Portable, and Repurposable
• Formats, Standards, and Techniques for the Management and Preservation of Digital Images and the Digital Negative
• Successful Taxonomy and Metadata Strategies
• Return on Investment from Automation within PreMedia, Print, and Enterprise Publishing Workflows

The sessions contain informative and thought-provoking presentations and panel debates from highly-respected executives from industry leaders such as Capps Digital Consulting, Corbis, Getty Images, Hearst Magazines, L.A. Burman Associates, Inc., Publicis Groupe, Quebecor World PreMedia, TBWA\Chiat\Day, and The J. Paul Getty Trust.

"The Digital Asset Management Symposium provides attendees with an opportunity to explore the latest developments and hear about recent successes for managing and extracting value from digital assets. The conference is also an ideal venue for networking with industry leaders," commented Michael Maziarka. "Our research shows that organizations are struggling to define the best approach and technologies for more effectively creating, managing, and delivering the content necessary to increase sales and meet customer demands. Attendees will leave this conference with practical knowledge that can be applied to their own circumstances and needs."

Kieron Osmotherly, Managing Director of the Digital Asset Management Symposium for Henry Stewart Conferences, added, “We’re looking forward to again working with InfoTrends/CAP Ventures and with Mr. Maziarka at our latest DAM Symposium – InfoTrends/CAP Ventures’ research and expertise in this field means that they are ideal chairs for our Text & Imaging Management track. Our Los Angeles Symposium, with over 300 attendees expected this year, will provide even better networking and knowledge sharing opportunities.”
