Why Should you Attend the 2016 Symposium:

 

  • Intelligence Analysts are struggling to keep up with the exponential increase of raw intelligence data produced by rapid advances in data collection. The growth of intelligence data is significant, but the challenge now is to develop processes and analytic solutions that can harness the tremendous power of big data.
  • This year’s Symposium will provide intelligence organizations across the government with the opportunity to explore new policies and technological solutions that can be used to more effectively exploit large, unstructured data sets in order to produce actionable intelligence for government and partners within the Intelligence Community
  • Join this year’s discussion as government, industry, academia, and solution providers come together to discuss the innovative strategies, procedures and technological solutions needed to enable the government to more effectively leverage the big data opportunity!

DSI’s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
