DMLA is covering all the hot topics in its first all-digital conference, with networking opportunities throughout.

We could not have envisioned a better kickoff.

Our opening Keynote Speaker, Paolo Malabuyo, a creative leader and educator, will set our annual DMLA conference on an exciting path through a discussion on how to drive innovation in the midst of complexity. On Day 2 we start with a timely keynote presentation from Adobe’s Andy Parsons on the Content Authenticity Initiative, announced last year at Adobe Max in partnership with the New York Times and Twitter.

With social platforms amplifying the reach and influence of certain content, trust in media is eroding. Inauthentic content is on the rise. And DMLA is now working with CAI to inform and educate the industry on this critical initiative.

Join inspiring speakers from Google, Adobe, Microsoft, YouTube, Shutterstock, Getty, CNN, Epic Games, PhotoShelter, Capture, PICHA, SmartFrame, SIPA, Gado Images, PicRights, plus White House photographers and scores more to discuss topics that affect our industry most. Learn more about synthetic content, digital asset management, real-time rendering, and how AI is being used for image SEO. Dive into thought-provoking topics such as resilience. Get the nitty-gritty of covering presidents, protests and politics from expert visual journalists. Learn how to make the Google Licensable Image Features work for you from the creators themselves. All from the comfort of your home at a relaxed pace.

Curious about Image Protection? Hear about creating a more secure ecosystem from the pacesetters in image protection. Discover technologies that complement each other to create a more safe and secure image environment.

Hot Topics in Legal panel is one of the most popular of DMLA’s annual conference. This year we could not squeeze everything into an hour, so we branched out and gave one — Section 512 Reform — its own roundtable. This will allow DMLA's law warriors time to cover all the vital matters. Other topics include, social media issues, drones, best practices in licensing enforcement, updates on the CASE Act, and for visual journalists, how to handle arrests.
