Events DAM New York 2026 Day 1 Track 1 The Future of Content, AI, and DAM

With Audience Participation and Take the Mic 🎤 

Format:

A little different. Instead of spending time talking to you, we're going to talk with you. This is a facilitated industry pulse-check. Through live polling and ‘Take the Mic 🎤’ moments, we will use the room to surface what is happening across DAM, content, creative operations, and digital teams right now. 

AI has moved beyond pilots, and DAM teams are feeling it:

  • More content.
  • More channels.
  • More reuse.
  • More automation.

And with all this, somehow the brief is still unclear, the metadata is still ‘later’ and approvals still have a mysterious second life.

We’ll get candid about what is still getting in the way:

  • Great demos with unclear adoption.
  • Cool tools with fuzzy value.
  • Governance questions no one quite owns.
  • People who are not the problem, but who are tired of change.
  • Fragmented content supply chains.
  • Real questions about the business value and ROI.

The goal of this session isn’t to find the perfect answers. It's to leave with a clearer sense of what needs to be fixed, what needs to be decided, and what we should stop circling around as AI becomes part and parcel of everyday content work.
