Great to be back in person at the HS DAM Europe 2022! Great opportunity to hear from peers in the industry and actually meet people again. Leaving with lots of areas to explore!

HS DAM events are an invaluable opportunity to meet a wide range of DAM practitioners, futurologists, and deep specialists. You'll find parallels in industries you know and new concepts from industries you don't, that will make you question and improve your practice.
