Day 2: Kodak's presence at AMIA

Kodak attendees at the Kodak Booth at the AMIA Vendor Cafe: Diane Carroll-Yacoby, Nicole Phillips, Rick Utley

We're continuing our Kodak presence at the Association of Moving Image Archivists conference this week in Austin, TX. Kodak has sponsored a booth in the popular Vendor Cafe at the Austin Hyatt Regency Downtown. We've had a lot of Kodak friends stop by to inquire about our presentation at The Reel Thing on Wednesday, where we discussed KODAK Asset Protection Films for the future. Additionally, many have inquired on our KODAK Media Asset Management Solutions Service, which we are currently beta testing. A panel discussion with the George Eastman House, describing the Case Study which was done for this offering, is scheduled for tomorrow Saturday, November 19.

Kodak’s Imagecare Program is a quality certification program for processing laboratories that began in 1996.  It originated in the Asia Pacific Region and has grown to over 50 labs in 31 countries today. Based on ISO (International Organization for Standardization) principles, the Program was initially launched to promote world class levels of quality in motion picture film processing, and this remains its guiding principle to this day.   

Diane Carroll-Yacoby has been a Kodak employee for 18 years, 16 of which have been spent in Entertainment Imaging’s Research & Development division. A trained chemist with 6 US patents, Diane has participated on and led research teams in new film product development. She has worked on many aspects of motion picture films from development of archival products to designing new tests that simulate the various ways in which customers use the products. She has a passion for the film industry and has had the opportunity to meet with many filmmakers and lab customers over the years. In 2009 she was given the opportunity to participate in Kodak’s Imagecare Program as the WW Marketing Manager. Diane lives with her husband of 16 years on a small farm just outside of Rochester.
