Artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to everyday application across national security. For GEOINT and All-Source organizations, the focus is now on how to integrate AI into core workflows to improve efficiency, modernize operations, and deliver mission-ready capabilities from the start. 

Join USGIF on Wednesday, July 22, for a Mission Focus discussion on AI-first strategies to modernize national security. Panelists will explore how intelligence professionals are partnering with industry, rethinking legacy processes, and deploying practical solutions that support faster, more effective analysis. 

Registration is complimentary for all attendees.

Herndon, VA

As imagery collection expands across national and commercial systems, analysts are facing an unprecedented volume of data. The GEOINT community needs faster, more effective ways to process, interpret, and act on information at mission speed. 

Join USGIF on Tuesday, July 28, for a GEOINTeraction Tuesday exploring why the future of GEOINT depends on automation, not artificial intelligence alone. Speakers will discuss how automation can accelerate imagery review, identify patterns of life, detect subtle indicators, and surface insights that may be difficult to recognize manually. 

Registration is complimentary for all attendees.
