First Session Confirmed

We are busy developing an exciting agenda for DAM and Museums 2026 so keep your eyes peeled for details. 

In the meantime, check out the first confirmed session below...

New website … Now What?
Leveraging DAM to Engage and Connect with Visitors

Background:

Following the relaunch of the National Gallery of Art website, we asked: How can our teams work even closer together to continue creating engaging digital experiences for in-person and online visitors?

Located in the heart of Washington, D.C., the National Gallery of Art houses an internationally recognized collection and welcomes nearly five million visitors annually, engaging even more people online.

Covering:

• The connection between DAM and CMS.
• Improvement of metadata and rethinking technical configurations to support the new website.
• Implementing user-oriented workflows to support content authors.
• Placing the DAM at the center of the digital ecosystem fully supporting the website and centering the DAMS as the single source of truth for images on the website.
• The role of executive leadership in driving and supporting change.
• The more than 61,000 images available for free for download through nga.gov
• How AI is being used to animate discovery of the online collection.

How the Courtauld Gallery Unlocked its Exciting Collection

The Courtauld is a renowned centre for the teaching and research of art history and a major public gallery. The Courtauld Gallery is home to one of the world’s greatest collections of art including much-loved masterpieces ranging from the Middle Ages to present. 

Focusing on how to share assets internally and externally through an integrated system, this session looks behind the scenes at how an integrated Collections Management System (CMS) and Digital Asset Management System (DAM) brings an important collection to the wider community. 

Covering:

• Exploring the Courtauld Gallery Collection through an integrated CMS and DAM.
• How the Courtauld continues to grow, use and share assets and how the CMS and DAM is a privilege source of information for all things collection-related:
  • Internally – for reporting, users and daily work across activities and departments.
  • Public-facing – exhibitions and displays, commercial and visitor engagement, marketing and comms, teaching and learning.
• IIIF implementation – why this is vital to our work.
• Championing copyright compliance in what we do.
