Why You Should Attend This Symposium

More than 300 million terabytes of data are created every day worldwide. In our increasingly digitized and interconnected world, the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense face the challenge of navigating and making sense of these vast amounts of information coming from a multitude of sources. DSI's 12th Annual Big Data for Intelligence Summit will bring together leaders across the IC, DoD, federal government agencies, industry, and academia to discuss strategies and policies to enhance data collection, interoperability, security, and exploitation in order to generate actionable insights for decision-making.

Join us at this year's summit to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving landscape of big data and analytics and to hear from experts and leaders across the community on the ways the DoD and IC are prioritizing data as a strategic asset to ensure mission success at speed and scale. Speakers will focus on the potential for AI and advanced analytics to accelerate data collection and processing, identify key trends and patterns, provide insight into potential threats and activities, and note emerging risks. Key sessions will address the newly released IC Data Strategy 2023-2025, which emphasizes the need for improved end-to-end data management, data interoperability, and stronger partnerships across agencies, industry, and academia. Sessions will also explore the newly released DoD Data, Analytics, and AI Adoption Strategy 2023, which highlights the imperative to accelerate our adoption of these technologies to unlock decision-making power. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with and ask questions of senior leaders, network with peers, watch technology demonstrations in the exhibit hall, and contribute to the discussion surrounding the advancement of data analytics for decision advantage.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in big data analytics 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.
