In the third session of the three-part series, attendees will learn how to improve acquisition outcomes through informed partnership with government clients. In the first module, we discussed the importance of sound and open communication throughout the acquisition cycle, with specific focus on developing strategies for overcoming barriers to effective communication in the pre-solicitation phase of the acquisition cycle. In the second module,...

As the GEOINT profession and the private sector have matured, new collection mechanisms such as microtasking via mobile phone apps, crowdsourcing portals, social media OSINT collectors and others provide usable data - but at the cost of anonymity, security, and speed. The Internet of Things (IOT) and databases listing these devices and their locations allow for an unprecedented level of access to real-time terrestrial imagery. This underutili...

This forum will offer discussions on current challenges and strategic initiatives related to the role of commercial technology and innovation including artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, augmentation, cognitive computing, computer vision, and commercial data sources in geospatial intelligence. Myriad innovative thinkers in a range of verticals—both providers and consumers alike—will gather for insightful discuss...

In this session, audience members will get a chance to interact with geospatial and OSINT experts on utilizing publicly available information across the open, deep and dark web. Join this panel discussion to learn more about a holistic approach capturing geospatial data on the open and dark web. Panelists: Moderator: Matt Ashburn, Former CIA Cyber Security Officer and National Security CISO at the White House Patrick Biltgen, Ph.D., Director o...

In order to better protect agencies and their users at the next level for the future, a new cyber-security approach needs to be considered. The current approach of building bigger “moats and bridges” with cyber security gateways is no longer sufficient to protect our agencies and IT environments as they move into the future. The transition to cloud-based resources and remote/work from home places data outside of the traditional ga...

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), Saint Louis University (SLU) and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) are joining together to bring the geospatial intelligence community a special edition event this fall that will showcase emerging location science capabilities including the potential to aid vulnerable populations and improve overall community resilience. Join us for a multi-faceted, three-day virtual...

With the recent launch of its GeoFutures Initiative Strategic Roadmap, the St. Louis geospatial ecosystem has laid out its vision for becoming the global center for geospatial excellence. The panel will examine how St. Louis’ entrepreneurial ecosystem is working to attract new GEOINT talent to St. Louis and develop the workforce to meet its growing needs, as well as align its tech incubators and academic institutions to foster innovation.

In this presentation, Kongsberg Geospatial and Vricon, a Maxar Company, will demonstrate how high-resolution terrain data and real-time visualization tools can be used to effectively visualize geospatial intelligence derived from ISR data. The presentation will include examples of the use of very high-resolution 3D digital surface model (DSM) and terrain data, as well as an explanation of how the data is derived and processed. The webinar will...
