Take a look at our agenda. Which one of our speakers would you like to speak with for 15 minutes, face-to-face, and what would you want to discuss? (NOTE: No, I'm not offering, and no, this isn't a contest...but...one of the uniquely cool things about the GEOINT Symposium is that it can happen spontaneously!)
What is the best memory that you have from the various GEOINT Symposiums? Is there a particular speaker, panel, entertainment, venue, etc. that you look back on and say "WOW!"

Our session at GEOINT is about the pitfalls of LBS: security issues, liability, and signal availability and reliability. But the bigger issue may be that we are thinking about the myriad applications yet to be discovered; the very unique possibility that we'll find applications not yet imagined but for which there is enormous potential. Yes, we should prepare for unintended consequences but we need not let our imagination be hindered at a time wh... [read more]
The Defense and Intelligence communities have not fully embraced nor exploited the huge advances seen in the commercial mobile phone and geospatial markets. What location aware mobile phone app should DoD or the Intelligence Community make available to their operators?

Watched the commemorative video and the 5 year video this morning (http://www.geoint2008.com) getting excited for GEOINT 2009- only 25 days til we will all be gathered in San Antonio!
They have all been amazing for different reasons. I'm often asked who was the most amazing keynote speaker and that's a slam dunk as they say . Former DCI Jim Woolsey talking about Iraq in I think 2005 in San Antonio...just amazing. No notes and no graphics( no powerpoint and no video clips. If you were there you'll never forget it.
