The Twelfth Annual Creative Storage Conference (CS 2018) will be held Thursday June 7, 2018 at the DoubleTree Hotel West Los Angeles in Culver City, CA (www.creativestorage.org).
The power session: “Preserving Digital Content—the Challenges, Needs, and Options” will focus on digital archiving and preservation. For industry leaders, there is a continuous amount of pressure for our visual professionals to create, produce and distribute 4K and Virtual Reality (VR) entertainment to our audiences. The most challenging aspect is making certain the video products (including all of the video assets) are still available for the short term and long term from the time materials are archived. The session will explain processes that need to be explored so that content owners can maximize their return and not have assets compromised. Discover the valuable developments in content archiving, automated metadata generation and asset management that will ensure your content libraries are flexible, strong and useful. The strategy for long term retention of invaluable professional content is upon us, and there is no better way to be “ahead of the curve” by attending this seminar!
