WASHINGTON -- The US government shutdown and travel restrictions placed on Pentagon civilian and military officials who are still working is hampering attendance at defense conferences.
At least one major conference has been postponed and uncertainty surrounds several upcoming events.
On Wednesday, the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation -- which organizes the GEOINT Symposium, scheduled for next week in Tampa, Fla. -- postponed the event until spring 2014 due to travel bans on military and government personnel.
