Technology Innovation Focus Day
19 January, 2009

Assessing The Latest Innovation In Geospatial Intelligence Technology Within An Open Architecture Environment

Rationale

In our recent research with defence and government agencies across the world, it became clear that there is a real lack of awareness and understanding of what technologies and solutions are out there that can be turned into real geospatial intelligence capabilities. Government and defence organisations want to make sure that they are using the most innovative and relevant technology out there, and this stand-alone event has been established to provide them with a one-off opportunity each year to evaluate the most innovative new technology in the market. Throughout the day, 20-minute demonstrations of new innovative technology by up to 18 different solution providers will be delivered to an exclusive audience of defence and government budget-holders. Technologies reviewed include GIS, network infrastructure services, database management and storage, data processing and fusion, analysis and visualisation, data security, web-based services and location-based services.

If You Are A Defence Or Government Organistion

Attending this day will enable you to:

• Gain a broad overview of the latest technology innovation in geospatial intelligence
• Better understand what new capabilities can be developed within your organisation through new technologies
• Have greater control over the development of your current technology-led capabilities
• More actively challenge and influence your System Integrator’s choice of partners
• Better understand your options for bringing in new technology independently of your System Integrator within a service-oriented architecture

If You Are A Solution Provider

If you are a solution provider and have innovative new technology that can make a difference to the geospatial intelligence capabilities of defence organisations, then you should be a sponsor at this day. We still have a number of slots available in the agenda for you to deliver a 20-minute demonstration or presentation of your technology in front of an audience of approximately 200 defence and government senior staff and budget holders, as well as leading System Integrators.
