Download Agenda for 2017 Speakers & Sessions

• Why Attend?
• • This educational summit enables the Intelligence Community, military intelligence organizations and the private sector to come together to address the latest efforts to improve the quality, availability, and analysis of geospatial and open source intelligence.
• • Open and commercially sourced data have proven their value and intelligence agencies are moving quickly to take advantage of new imagery sources. The challenge is integrating this information into existing streams and exploiting it in an effective and timely manner. Establishing a strategy and framework for the collection and analysis of this diverse set of data streams will be a key priority for the IC. 
• • This summit will feature senior level discussions on the latest efforts by government agencies and organizations to utilize geospatial and open source data to support a wide variety of mission sets. The applications of this data are many and this year’s summit will seek to highlight efforts towards the accomplishment of wide-ranging IC goals.
• • We encourage you to explore our site  more, give us a call if you have any questions, and we hope to welcome you in September!

• • This summit offers several distinct opportunities for a few organizations to demonstrate their technologies or solutions that address the summit subject matter, or to partake in a thought leadership role.
