Geospatial Intelligence Workshop

What: The objective of this workshop is to provide a deeper understanding of how geospatial technology can support both the local and national intelligence community for fighting terrorism or assisting response efforts in the event of a natural disaster.In addition, it will serve as a networking opportunity to connect stakeholders with solution providers. Likewise, the intent is to illustrate the regional expertise among the technology companies undertaking GEOINT services and applications in the Huntsville and North Alabama regions. Finally, the workshop will bring together educators with the intent of identifying GEOINT tradecraft opportunities for curriculum development. The workshop will be held on August 14 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville. The workshop will be held simultaneously with and adjacent to the Space and Missile Defense Symposium which annually draws 6000 attendees.
