DGI Europe 2008 for London, January 2008

20 August 2007, 3:36pm

DGI Europe 2008 - The 4th Annual Gathering For The International Defence Geospatial Intelligence Community will be held 21st to 24th January 2008 at the QE II Conference Centre, Westminster, London.

DGI 2008 is Europe’s annual gathering of the defence geospatial intelligence community. Bringing together Heads of GeoINT, GIS, J2, C2, Imagery and Analysis, Reconnaissance, METOC, Operations and ISTAR, the conference provides a unique forum to discuss and debate the development of geospatial intelligence capabilities across the globe. A fundamental objective of the event is to address interoperability and how to achieve common geospatial intelligence goals through the co-ordination of national and multinational initiatives, and over 4 days all aspects of the collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination of geospatial data will be covered in-depth, with the ultimate objective of getting the right information to the right user at the right time.

Our core sponsors already confirmed include ESRI, Intergraph, BAE Systems, Raytheon, Harris, ImageSat, ELTA Systems, NGA, GCS Research, Overwatch Systems,Technigraphics, Northrop Grumman and i2 Choicepoint.

The line-up of confirmed defence and government speakers already includes:

* Major General John Rose MBE, Director General, Intelligence Collection, MoD UK
* Vanessa Lawrence, Chief Executive, Ordnance Survey
* Richard Bryan, Deputy Commissioner & Director, Olympic Security Directorate UK
* Charles Rolen, Division Chief, Battlespace Visualisation, Defense Intelligence Agency US

This will be the premier European networking and business development platform for geospatial professionals. If you have credible products, services or solutions to sell to senior budget-holders at MoDs or government agencies in Europe, then DGI 2008 will place you in front of this active audience.

With over 400 senior defence and government decision-makers attending, this is the one event in Europe you cannot afford to be absent from. I still have a limited number of sponsorship opportunities available but these opportunities are selling out quickly.
