got geoint?

One of the coolest things about the GEOINT Symposium is walking the exhibitor floor and seeing all of the GEOINT innovation come to life right before your eyes. The theme for this year’s GEOINT is “Geospatial Intelligence 3.0 – a New Era of GEOINT,” which is certainly underscored by what’s happening on the expo flloor. So, check this out. This year, there will be 220 exhibitors (up from 174 last year) from government, industry and academia who will be bringing this new era of GEOINT to life. And be sure to come back to got geoint? through out the week. We will be showcasing all key exhibitor news here. And if you are an exhibitor and want to be included in our news round ups, please contact us at pressideas (at) usgif.org. Finally, be sure to check out the rest of this post. We have exhibitor news from SGI, MarkLogic and much more.
