[SatNews] The USGIF Interoperability Outreach Subcommittee and Emerging Technologies Subcommittee invites participation in a session of Lightning Talks during GEOINT Foreword on Sunday, October 13th., in Tampa, Florida.
GEOINT Foreword is the science- and technology-focused forum that runs as a preface to the GEOINT Symposium. The deadline for abstract submissions is Wednesday, August 21st., 11:59 p.m., EDT
Lightning Talk presentations proposals are open to any USGIF Members as an opportunity to collaborate and educate colleagues on technical topics relevant to the GEOINT Symposium's theme: Operationalizing Intelligence for Global Missions. Lightning Talks are limited to five minutes each and will be presented from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday as a capstone to the GEOINT Foreword event. Lightning Talks must focus on advancing the GEOINT tradecraft for scientists, analysts and other professionals. Marketing pitches will be ignored by the proposal review process, but individuals and their organizations will be recognized for innovative efforts by GEOINT Foreword attendees and credited for their contributions within the GEOINT 2013 program guide. This year's talks will have a focus on Interoperability & Standards as well as Emerging Technologies. We encourage you to submit an abstract. Click here for a PDF of the Submission Guidelines.
