Events DAM New York 2025 Track 3 Running a DAM Good Selection Process: Lessons from Both Sides of the Table

A successful DAM implementation starts with running a smart, well-structured platform selection process. But anyone who’s been through it knows that’s easier said than done.

In this lively panel, we bring together DAM practitioners who have learned tough lessons through their own selection experience, and DAM platform providers who have seen what makes a selection process succeed, or stall.

Panelists will share practical tips and candid insights on:

  • What makes a DAM selection process run smoothly, and where it often goes wrong.
  • How to run a solicitation process that actually works (for you and the vendors).
  • The do’s and don’ts of demos, PoCs, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Common pitfalls and oversights to avoid.

This session builds on the DAM NY 2025 pre-conference webinar, Selecting Your Next DAM: A Step-by-Step Guide (and How to Prep for DAM NY), and goes deeper into real-world stories and advice you won’t find in a how-to guide.

Whether you’re planning your first DAM RFP or looking to improve your process for the future, you’ll leave with actionable takeaways for running a DAM good selection process.
