This years event continues that and will engage an even greater diversity of experts and industries. We want the entire community of technical and creative users to share what they are working on, the lessons learned, what challenges theyre facing now and what might be around the corner, noted Tom Regal, the DAS program chair.

In partnership with Creative Storage, Entertainment Storage Alliance

The preservation of digital content requires the right digital storage technologies, the right practices and a commitment to a long-term storage objective. Tom Coughlin - noted expert and founder of Creative Storage Conference - will explore trends in content creation and storage, conversion of content, a survey of available and future archiving technologies and their trade-offs and provide guidance on the best way to bring valuable digital and analog content into the future.

New media assets are being created at a speed that grows exponentially, in almost every industry, every day. Everyone is dealing with similar challenges and we can learn a lot from each other, but only if were in the same place. DAS is where those discussions happen - where experts in each stage of the digital life cycle put aside theory and share real world experience.
