Join USGIF for a two-day program that takes a critical look at what is required to implement GEOINT artificial intelligence capabilities for widespread use. The tech world has been abuzz for several years about the promise of artificial intelligence—and the GEOINT community has not been immune to the excitement. After all, AI has been considered a defining technology of the decade. Yet, deployment of AI solutions at scale remains challen...

Observe, Orient, Decide, Act: John Boyd’s classic “OODA” loop concept holds that in conflict, whichever party can "get inside" the opponent's decision cycle timeline can gain the advantage. The timely delivery of GEOINT analytic products to the point of need is a key element of decision advantage. Join us as we examine how the community is finding innovative ways to automate significant portions of imagery exploitation and re...

USGIF kicks off a series focused on the GEOINT equities of the U.S. military forces with a day of programming dedicated to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. This day of keynotes and panel discussions is sure to inform participants from around the force about how GEOINT matters to them. It also affords the opportunity for participants from USAF and USSF to share insights with GEOINT partners who are working to ensure the nation’s...

The National Intelligence Estimate on Climate Change released by the National Security Council in October of 2021 lists eight separate climate change effects, each of which portends impacts on food security: heat, heavy precipitation and flooding, drought, sea level rise, arctic ice melt, tropical cyclones, coral reefs, and biodiversity. As populations experience stressors over the production and consumption of food, the potential for mass hum...

USGIF's GEOINT Symposium is the largest annual gathering of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) professionals in the nation. As has been proven time and again—and particularly since the start of the pandemic—GEOINT is ubiquitous and provides context to our world. The symposium is a unique and unparalleled opportunity to speak to your extended constituency spanning government, industry, and academia. In addition to keynotes from senior...

USGIF’s GEOINT Community Week brings together the defense, intelligence, homeland security, and geospatial communities at-large for a week of briefings, educational sessions, workshops, technology exhibits and networking opportunities. More details coming soon!

Geospatial Gateway Forum (formerly Tech Showcase West) is an annual three-day event offering the unique opportunity to see the innovative work happening in the St. Louis region. Over the past decade, St. Louis has grown into a hub of geospatial innovation. With the Next NGA West (N2W) campus in development and more industry partners making their mark in the city, GEOINT has catapulted forward, putting St. Louis on the map for geospatial excell...

Join USGIF for its first annual GEOINTegration Summit, a two-day event focused on GEOINT workforce development, the alignment of GEOINT curriculum with government and industry competencies, and strengthening academic partnerships with both government and industry. A particular interest of the academic community is the evolving nature of the GEOINT tradecraft and its limited accessibility to many faculty, students, and researchers due to the of...
