*No matter the industry content continues to increase, technology continues to advance and the demand for access continues to grow. 
DAS addresses the full life cycle of the media asset - from content creation to rights management to assuring asset preservation. Each part of the life cycle impacts the next and DAS is the only place where everyone is part of the conversation - content creators, post-production, systems designers, archives, asset managers - where commercial meets nonprofit and corporate meets public. Constantly evolving technology allows new content and new workflows that demand new solutions to access, rights management, and preservation issues. 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 from each other, but only if we're in the same place. DAS is the place!
