The Showcase began with a kickoff dinner at the Iron Cactus, featuring delicious fajitas and margaritas, hosted by ImageRights, followed by a full day of networking, presentations, and discussions. Attendees heard from industry experts on topics such as generative AI and its impact on the law, the future of generative AI technology, and image streaming and in-image advertising.

Attendees also heard from Joel Miller of SmartFrame, Candice Murray and Chip Schenck of Shutterstock.

The event concluded with a lively cocktail hour that brought together DMLA members, presenters, and guests for networking, libations, and a spread of local Texas cheeses.
