Europe's Defence & Intelligence Conference & Exhibition

The Defence Geospatial Intelligence (DGI) Journey...

Since it's launch in 2003, Defence Geospatial Intelligence (DGI) has become the largest and most international annual gathering dedicated to the high-level discussion of geospatial intelligence and national security in both defence and intelligence operations.

Addressing the use of geospatial information in scenarios such as international conflicts, defence operations, C4ISR, humanitarian disasters, crime, national security, border control, arms treaty monitoring and global climate change; the fundamental objective of DGI is to help organisations understand how to build the necessary infrastructure and architecture to take advantage of geospatial intelligence capabilities. 

DGI brings together heads of geospatial intelligence, remote sensing, GIS mapping, gis data and satellite imagery within the military, governmental and national security sectors as well as industry solution providers. It attracts professionals who are responsible for using and integrating geo based capabilities in their operations and organisations. DGI provides a unique forum for defence intelligence professionals to discuss and debate the development of geospatial intelligence capabilities.

Over 650 senior defence and security executives from over 45 countries attend the Defence Geospatial Intelligence (DGI) conference and exhibition in Westminster, London, to discuss the future role of GeoInt in their organisations, to debate new strategies, to debate future collaboration plans, and to find solutions to their current Geo challenges.

Supported by the UK MoD, the NGA, US Army, NATO, Australian DoD, Council of the European Union and many more international military and governmental organisations, DGI combines a high level conference, with a large exhibition hall, to combine unparalleled networking, benchmarking and learning opportunities into one event.


Outlook

Don't just take our word for it

What the community and industry say about DGI

Created by an industry advisory board, DGI has been created “by the community, for the community” where all the key issues are uncovered, discussed and resolved. Here is what our community says about DGI:

"The Defence Geospatial Intelligence Conference has evolved over the last seven years to now become a leading global event. It has provided a platform for a community that touches every area of Defence and each year provides a different focus, allowing practitioners and industry to demonstrate both best practice and recent developments. The use of different tracks and themes allows attendees to better understand their areas of interest or gain a broader understanding in others. The introduction of an Advisory Panel for the 2011 has only helped enhance the quality of speakers and the event as a whole."
Lt. Col. Neil Marks, National Expert, Council of the European Union

"DGI has provided us with a concrete opportunity to further develop our collaborative approach with defense and security users aimed at demonstrating innovative monitoring services in response to needs of specific pilot cases selected by the users". Marcello Maranesi, CEO, e-GEOS

“DGI is the most important and fruitful conference in GEOINT; the latest developments and the conclusions can instantly take effect on the field”
Lt. Col. Babis Paraschou, Chief Geospatial Officer, NATO

"DGI continues as the premier geospatial intelligence conference in Europe providing great opportunities to learn more about the issues, opportunities and technology facing providers and consumers of GEOINT. The balance of formal presentations and focus days, combined with great networking among leading government, academic and industry executives, makes this a compelling event. 2011 was the best yet. WBR provided a world class event."
John Day, Director of Defence Business Development, Esri
