Events Webinar AI in DAM for Retail – From Trends to Tangible Products

AI is rapidly transforming how retailers manage and distribute product visuals, campaign content, and brand assets. While the promise is significant, the path to adoption isn’t always straightforward.

In this webinar, independent DAM consultant Kristina Huddart will share insights from her AI in DAM 2025 research, along with learnings from retail organizations already implementing AI. She will explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what every retailer should consider before getting started.

Webinar From Rules-Based Workflows to Autonomous Decision-Making

As AI becomes embedded across content operations and begins making more autonomous decisions, Digital Asset Management platforms are evolving beyond automation toward agentic models, where AI systems can act independently within defined guardrails.

In an agentic DAM environment, AI agents do more than assist. They monitor content quality, enrich and normalize metadata, manage asset lifecycles, and proactively surface opportunities for reuse and optimization. The result is not just efficiency, but greater consistency, trust, and control at scale.
