Upcoming USGIF Events
Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) is becoming increasingly critical as global threats evolve, maritime traffic expands, and governments work to strengthen security and decision-making across the maritime environment.
Join USGIF on Tuesday, June 23, from 5–7 p.m. at Synmax’s offices in Washington, DC for an evening exploring what’s next for maritime intelligence, from emerging technologies to the policies and partnerships that put them into action.
We’re pleased to welcome Steve Griffin, Assistant Commandant for Intelligence (CG-2), U.S. Coast Guard, as our keynote speaker.
Hosted in partnership with USGIF’s Maritime Domain Awareness Working Group, this GEOINTeraction brings together the GEOINT leaders and practitioners to examine evolving challenges, capabilities, and opportunities across the maritime landscape.
Join the discussion and connect with the GEOINT community driving the future of maritime intelligence.
Registration is complimentary for all attendees.
GEOINTeraction Colorado: Thermal Insights from Space will feature a panel discussion and Q&A session covering space-based thermal imaging capabilities and the value of these sensors for national, civil, and commercial use cases.
This event is organized by the USGIF Colorado Front Range Community (FRAC) of Interest. Learn more about FRAC and USGIF’s working groups.

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational foundation. We are dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and developing a stronger GEOINT Community with government, industry, academia, professional organizations, and individuals who develop and apply geospatial intelligence to address national security challenges. USGIF achieves its mission through various programs, initiatives, and events.
As imagery collection expands across national and commercial systems, analysts are facing an unprecedented volume of data. The GEOINT community needs faster, more effective ways to process, interpret, and act on information at mission speed.
Join USGIF on Tuesday, July 28, for a GEOINTeraction Tuesday exploring why the future of GEOINT depends on automation, not artificial intelligence alone. Speakers will discuss how automation can accelerate imagery review, identify patterns of life, detect subtle indicators, and surface insights that may be difficult to recognize manually.
Registration is complimentary for all attendees.
The GEOINT Symposium, which began in 2004, is the largest annual gathering of geospatial intelligence—and possibly intelligence—professionals in the nation. With an average total attendance of more than 3,000, the event is a unique and unparalleled opportunity to speak to your extended constituency spanning government, military, the contractor community, and academia. This year’s theme, GEOINT: The Foundation of Intelligence reflects the concept that everything that happens takes place at a point in space and time, with GEOINT being the foundation necessary to turn situational intelligence into situational awareness and deliver predictive insights for our world. This is an UNCLASSIFIED event.
