Session 1 - The New GLAMP Technology Landscape: Building Connected Collections
Tuesday October 20, 2026
8AM PDT / 11AM EDT / 4PM BST / 5PM CEST
Digital Asset Management is no longer a standalone repository. Modern institutions increasingly operate interconnected ecosystems that combine DAM, Collections Management Systems, Digital Preservation platforms, public websites, APIs and AI-powered discovery tools.
This opening session provides a strategic overview of the current GLAMP technology landscape, examining how organizations are designing flexible digital infrastructures that support preservation, access and engagement.

Session 3 - AI in Production: Metadata, Search and Automation
Tuesday November 3, 2026
8AM PST / 11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how cultural organizations describe, organize and discover digital collections. Rather than focusing on future possibilities, this session examines practical AI implementations already delivering measurable value.
The session explores where AI performs well, where human expertise remains essential and how institutions are developing governance frameworks for responsible adoption.

Session 4 - Rights, Access and Governance: Building Trusted Digital Collections
Tuesday November 10, 2026
8AM PST / 11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET
Managing rights is no longer simply about recording copyright information in objects or assets. As digital collections grow in scale and complexity, cultural heritage organizations must develop governance frameworks that balance public access, institutional responsibilities, commercial opportunities and legal obligations.
This session explores how rights, access and governance work together within a modern DAM environment. It examines how policies, workflows and system design can support informed decision-making, making rights information actionable rather than simply documented.
The session will also consider how rights governance is becoming increasingly important as institutions adopt AI, expand online access and manage increasingly diverse digital collections.

Session 5 - Small Steps in a Long Game: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Digital Preservation
Tuesday November 10, 2026
8AM PST / 11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET
Digital preservation isn't a one-time project, it's an ongoing commitment. And for many institutions, the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's building a practice that holds up over time, through staff turnover, budget cycles, and ever-evolving technology.
This session equips you with the frameworks, strategies, and tools to do exactly that. Rather than prescribing a single approach, you will learn what you need to honestly assess your institution's current capacity, identify your most critical risks, and make informed decisions about building a preservation practice that is realistic, repeatable, and built to last.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to strengthen what you already have, you'll leave this session with the knowledge and confidence to build something your institution can sustain for the long term.

Session 6 - Demonstrating Value: Governance, Metrics and Future Planning
Thursday November 19, 2026
8AM PST / 11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET
Many DAM programmes struggle not because of technology, but because organizations fail to demonstrate ongoing value.
This concluding session explores how successful institutions build governance frameworks, measure impact and secure continued investment.
