Defense Strategies Institute professional educational forum: 4th Annual Multi-INT Exploitation Summit ~Delivering Integrated Intelligence for Timely and Actionable Decision- Making~ July 18-19, 2018 Mary Gates Learning Center Alexandria, VA
The 2018 Multi-INT Summit will focus on integrating intelligence sources to enhance the analysis and exploitation of data to support critical DoD and IC operations. Program Design & Goal: With the significant need for accessible and actionable data, and the high volume of data being generated, operators are turning to capabilities which offer real-time data fused with sensors, systems, and open source tools to accurately aid in decision-making. The 2018 Summit will address the continuing efforts of the IC Information Technology Enterprise and the way in which the IC and DoD are visualizing and processing the significant amount of data to deliver a holistic, multi-int picture for effective exploitation. Intel leaders will also highlight the shift to the cloud as an improved method of data sharing and enhanced way of securing sensitive information. DSI s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in human and technical analysis from intelligence leaders to key policy-makers across military and civilian offices. Our nonpartisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. DSI s Symposium directly supports IC and DoD priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time. Operating Guidelines: 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. * This Symposium is open and complimentary to all IC, DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum. (Industry and academia members are charged a fee of attendance) This Symposium is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS General Target Audience: U.S Military Services, members of the Intelligence Community, Government Agencies, Academia, and U.S. Technology Solution Providers -Current successes with the IC Enterprise Management and IC Desktop Environment Programs, and understanding what technical gaps industry can help with Specific topics to be discussed include: -Advancements in fusing information stemming from different sensors and disciplines to develop accurate decisions -Coordinating with partner agencies and industry to implement off-the-shelf and ready to install intel solutions at a quicker pace and cost-effective scale -Understanding how to effectively prioritize in a budget-constrained environment while not compromising data security measures - IC ITE s role in employing big data tools and leveraging analytics to improve the Multi-INT landscape -Progress in safeguarding information within the cloud to ensure that while sharing is encouraged between the IC, the integrity of data is not compromised
