PRESENTATION  DETAILS

PicScout (http://www.picscout.com) will share how photographers and agencies can both protect and promote their images – with particular focus on how to capitalize on online image usage to drive more sales.  It’s all too easy for consumers to click an image, right click and save as and use an image.  Excuses often relate to not knowing they need to or even who to license an image from given that metadata is so often lost – hear how images are being identified today through fingerprinting technology and how users of images can immediately see what the image license type is and who/how to license the image.

TRANSPORTATION

Very close to Embarcadero BART Station. If you have to drive, please note that there is limited metered street parking in the area. There is pay parking approx. 3-4 blocks away at the Embarcadero Center Parking Garage (http://bit.ly/parking-Embarc).
