The DMLA and Visual 1st have recently announced a strategic partnership through which they offer cross-conference special tickets for their respective events, which will be held back-to-back in San Francisco at the end of October 2023.
This will give the opportunity for attendees to both events to learn and network with one another and maximize the takeaways from the experience.
The IDMLC
The International Digital Media Licensing Conference (IDMLC) is a prestigious annual event organized by the DMLA that gathers experts from various fronts in the visual content industry together to discuss the most pressing and relevant issues in image licensing, including copyright laws, monetization, business opportunities, and innovation.
This year, the 28th IDMLC will happen in San Francisco, at The Presidio, from October 22 to October 24.
