Past event: GEOINT and Open Source Analytics Summit 2018

The 2018 GEOINT and Open Source Analytics Summit will focus on techniques and resources aimed at integrating open source technologies into today's GEOINT landscape. This educational Summit will engage US military commands, government agencies, and technology providers in a town-hall forum to highlight the impact of open source data combined with sensitive information to develop a holistic GEOINT picture.

Topics to be Covered Include:

• Modernizing GEOINT by applying big data computing and machine learning resources to introduce data points including classified and unclassified sources
• Harnessing the direction of NGA's initiative of augmentation, artificial intelligence, and automation for increased effectiveness
  
• Collecting and creating operational-tactical imagery, elevation data, and geospatial information for mission success
• Incorporating AI into the geospatial realm for increased automation and easier identification of targets
• Efforts toward applying a unified GEOINT platform to utilize tools, algorithms, and capabilities into a data-centric exploitation model
  
• Working to employ a joint effort combination between humans and computers to expand data volumes allowing for accurate GEOINT exploitation
  

Why Attend?

This educational Summit will enable the Intelligence Community, military intelligence organizations and industry partners to come together in a collaborative forum to encourage honest dialogue to address the technical vulnerabilities of the Intelligence Community focusing specifically on GEOINT.

In today's technological era, the IC has been seeing increased importance and reliance on the ability to harness and exploit open source data to enhance GEOINT. This forum will discuss the efforts to couple commercial open source data with classified information and how this combination enhances the quality of GEOINT brought to key decision-makers. The main objective of this year's discussion will be integrating this open source information and effectively exploiting it in a timely manner.

Overall, this summit will feature senior level discussions of the latest efforts by government agencies and organizations to utilize geospatial and open source data for critical missions. Such a dialogue in a non-attributed setting, will allow for solution providers and thought-leaders to join together in vital discussion regarding the advancements and progress of GEOINT resources and tools.
