The best minds in the industry discuss the efficient and reliable use of Photo Metadata
Photo metadata is key to protecting images’ copyright and licensing information online. It is also essential for managing digital assets. Detailed and accurate descriptions about images ensure they can be easily and efficiently retrieved via search, by users or machine-readable code. This results in smoother workflow within organisations, more precise tracking of images, and increased licensing opportunities.
To achieve this goal, IPTC supports photo agencies, stock photo libraries, cultural heritage archives and individual photographers by staging this conference.
From 2007 to 2019 the IPTC Photo Metadata Conference was held in conjunction with the CEPIC Congress. In recent years we have met online as a Zoom webinar.
