Join us for a community-building and networking peer to peer (virtual) experience at our Annual "Canada DAM (Digital Asset Management) Symposium” on Thursday, June 18th, 2026. This engaging event will feature “anchor” showcase presentations from accomplished Canadian DAM professionals and academic scholars, highlighting cutting-edge insights and practices in the field.
We’ll also be celebrating the exceptional talent of DAM students at the School of Graphic Communications Management (GCM) by showcasing the winning projects from the DAM CreativeStudent Challenge during the event.
Attendees will be entered into random drawings to win limited-edition DAM-themed puzzles, designed by GCM students and produced at GCM
To cap it off, one lucky participant will win the grand prize — tuition for one class in the Rutgers DAM Professional Certificate Program, announced at the close of the event.
The event is a collaboration with The Creative School’s Graphic Communications Management (GCM) program at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) represented by Professor Dr. Reem El Asaleh and David H. Lipsey, well-known DAM industry leader, and the Co-Founder, Co-Director & Instructor, the Digital Asset Management Certificate Program at Rutgers University.
