DAM and Collections Management for Cultural Heritage 2026

How leading GLAMP (galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and performing arts) organisations are transforming their management of digital assets and collections. 

About the Event

Cultural heritage organisations face unique digital asset management and collections management challenges. From centuries-old manuscripts to contemporary performances, these collections demand specialised approaches to digitisation, metadata, preservation, and access.

“DAM and Collections Management for Cultural Heritage 2026” brings together GLAMP professionals who understand that managing cultural heritage is about stewardship, scholarship, and serving the public. Professionals who know that the challenge is to be as good as possible with limited resources.

Every session: 

Is designed with the special needs of cultural heritage firmly in mind. The most pressing issues are examined and the significant challenges addressed, including: metadata standards (ISAD(G) and EAD amongst others), digital preservation strategies to span centuries, copyright complexities with historical materials, and the art and science of  making collections discoverable while, simultaneously, protecting sensitive content.
