McGraw will facilitate two sessions during the conference. The first, a breakfast session, will cover the benefits of a DAM initiative. “It’s a challenge to identify the areas of greatest benefits associated with DAM”, McGraw says.
“We’ll cover targeting specific stakeholders, business processes, ROI values and most importantly, the little known strategies for successfully working through the corporate political climate.”
The other session is a panel discussion with key team members from McDonald’s and their experience in deploying their global DAM system. Conference attendees include those from United Airlines, Harley Davidson, Abbott, USG, and DePaul University.
“This conference offers any organization practical advice and strategies on managing video, print, photography, and any other type of creative files.” McGraw says.
“There is definitely an art and science to managing digital media and there are plenty of questions. This is one of the few places to get the right answers.”
