Leveraging the Power of Big Data Analyticsto Enhance Decision Making

The 8th Annual Big Data for Intelligence Symposium will provide a forum to have an open discussion about the innovative opportunities of turning vast amounts of raw data into actionable intelligence. This Symposium will provide the Intelligence Community, US Armed Forces commands, government agencies, members of academia, and technology industry leaders the opportunity to discuss innovative pathways to improve big data for intelligence to protect U.S. National Security.

Topics to be Covered at the Symposium:

Why You Should Attend this Year's Symposium:

Innovations in technology continue to innovate the landscape regarding data collection capabilities, as the Federal Government has committed billions of dollars to such R&D efforts for the current & future fiscal years. The DoD's Digital Modernization Strategy established in July of 2019 has called for a facilitation of data collection in the digital environment to afford the Joint Force a competitive advantage moving forward. At this event, industry & academia partners will hear from various senior government leaders on the need to have transparency and efficiency when sharing data, and how these data sets can be utilized as valuable assets in achieving operational success. The need for data talent has also been made a priority across the Intelligence Communities & DoD to ensure the protection of networks & systems.  

The focus across the IC & DoD remains on the development for storing, retrieving & analyzing of big data sets to produce actionable intelligence and enhance decision making. The 2020 Symposium will address key emerging technologies, policies and tools that are being used to support the Intelligence community, DoD, & Armed Forces in this effort. This forum will also focus on the utilization of the cloud as an innovation driver in big data intelligence to maintain an operational advantage, as well as feature a panel of experts that will discuss how AI & machine learning can be utilized to speed up the dissemination of big data sets.

Our team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in data science as well as key-policy makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
