Multiple forum discussions in the afternoon will allow attendees the option of participating in panels most relevant to their work and interests. Each day concludes with receptions in the exhibit hall to offer attendees and exhibitors alike an additional opportunity to discuss the day’s presentations, see more technology demonstrations, catch up with colleagues or make new business partners. The annual GEOINT Symposium, produced by USGIF, is the nation’s premier intelligence event. An audience of more than 3,000 is expected to visit Music City and take advantage of the myriad keynote addresses, panel presentations, workshops and social events—all while networking with colleagues and forging new relationships, learning from senior representatives in the defense and intelligence communities, and discovering the latest technologies helping to solve our mission challenges and accomplish our national security objectives. USGIF is a not-for-profit educational corporation dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and developing a stronger community of interest between government, industry, academia, professional organizations and individuals who share a mission focus around the development and application of geospatial intelligence to address national security objectives.
