Past event: GEOINT and Open Source Analytics Summit 2016

''Succeeding in the Open''

This educational Summit will engage the Intelligence Community, DoD, DHS, industry and academia in a collaborative, open forum to discuss technological solutions and best practices that enhance the Intelligence Community's ability to process, exploit, and disseminate open source data

''Moving forward, a large part of GEOINT's value proposition will come from delivering meaningful consequences to our customers from mutually dependent classified and unclassified sources. How? We must reduce the barriers between our system and the commercial market... In short... the impact of democratization of unclassified content, the integration of content and context, and the persistent mindset... requires industry and NGA to form an even more powerful partnership...'' Robert Cardillio, Director, NGA (March 2015)


Topic Areas To Include:

  1. The growing mission need to incorporate openly available information into traditional GEOINT and Multi-INT analysis workflows and processes
  2. How open source analytics directly supports Multi-INT and Activity Based Intelligence (ABI)
  3. Current status of pilot projects and base programs designed to use publicly available information for GEOINT missions
  4. Technical challenges associated with real-time ingest, correlation, enrichment, security and use of open sources as either stand-alone architecture or as a fully integrated architecture
  5. Options for multi-level-security (MLS), cross-domain security solutions for faster, more secure analysis
  6. The growing role of automation in GEOINT and Open Sources analysis
  7. How an ''Analysis as a Service'' business model would support government analysts
  8. How big data and deep learning solutions can lead to anticipatory intelligence
  9. How the commercial small satellite revolution supports the future GEOINT strategy


Why Attend:

Our GEOINT and Open Source Analytics Summit is a unique forum that allows for personnel from DoD, the IC, Military Services, Federal Agencies, Industry and Academia to convene in one location.  Our "Town Hall" format is designed to encourage challenging discussion and dialogue among all in attendance. The forum is off the record and non attribution.

Our agendas cover the most current priorities and strive to achieve actionable takeaways for all in attendance.

We limit our attendance size in order to allow everyone a chance to actively participate in the discussions and to mix and mingle with each other easily over the two days we are together.

We encourage you to explore our site  more, give us a call if you have any questions, and we hope to welcome you in October!
