GEOINT 2020 Symposium Update
A Message from USGIF and its Board of Directors Regarding GEOINT 2020 Symposium:
As an update, USGIF is exploring all options to cancel or postpone GEOINT 2020. At this time, we are ceasing registration and asking all vendors to cease any GEOINT 2020-related production.
We recognize that this affects GEOINT Symposium attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, vendors, and university faculty and students. We are grateful for your patience as we explore every viable option.
Please stay tuned for more details in the coming days.
We wish you all continued health and safety in the days to come.
——
Hosted and produced by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), a non-profit, non-lobbying educational organization, the annual GEOINT Symposium is the nation’s largest gathering of industry, academia, and government to include Defense, Intelligence and Homeland Security Communities as well as commercial, Fed/Civil, State and Local geospatial intelligence stakeholders.
The event annually attracts more than 3,500 attendees from all over the world, features more than 250 exhibiting organizations, offers 50 hours of training sessions, and countless opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, and network.
Who is USGIF?
The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is the only professional organization dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and building a stronger GEOINT Community across industry, academia, government, professional organizations and individual stakeholders.
With almost 250 Organizational Members and more than 1,500 Individual Members, USGIF continues to build the community, advance the tradecraft, and accelerate innovation for the global GEOINT Community – commercial and government alike.
As a not-for-profit educational foundation, USGIF takes a broad view of GEOINT and build programs, activities, training, education, and credentialing to be of value to anyone using remote sensing, geospatial information, and data information and intelligence.
What is the GEOINT Symposium
USGIF’s GEOINT Symposium is the preeminent event of the year for the defense, intelligence and homeland security communities.
Each year since 2004, GEOINT Symposia have brought together an exciting agenda of keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and provided attendees a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts, share best practices, and uncover the latest developments from government, military and private-sector leaders.
This mix of community leaders with the largest intelligence-focused exhibit hall featuring the industry’s top solutions and capabilities brings attendees and exhibitors back year after year.
Of course, the GEOINT Symposium wouldn’t be the GEOINT Symposium without the rich networking opportunities. An opening welcome reception, exhibit hall receptions, and a closing celebration—as well as some impromptu networking events and receptions—provide tremendous opportunities with immeasurable returns on investment.
Eugene Lamnek created GeoIT Solutions in 2002, and has been developing ArcGIS customizations, add-ins and applications ever since. In this time Eugene has developed numerous bushfire applications for the CFS and the CFA as well as water and wastewater modelling software, asset management applications and interfaces, and open source applications for numerous clients including SA Water, Santos and DEW.
The Treatment Reporting System (TRS) currently in pilot phase, will allow organisations to store and manage their bushfire mitigation tasks, as well as measuring these tasks against the requirements of the Bushfire Management Area Plans (BMAPs). The system will allow users to store bushfire mitigation tasks, their spatial extent, values of work, time of work and completion status. Tasks are mapped and measured against required actions, defined by within the CFS BMAPs. The TRS will provide an effective mechanism for reporting the adequacy of on ground mitigation work (potentially at a State-wide level) by measuring mitigation work against well-defined mitigation targets. Users of the system will include local government, state government, private organisations and potentially even individual landholders.

SSSI in conjunction with the Hunter Environmental Institute will present this webinar with three pre-eminent speakers:
Amy Steiger (Cardno)
Title: RPAS and thermal cameras for wildlife detection post-bushfire and coastal monitoring
Details: Amy has promoted the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) gaining experience with remote data capture to cover a range of coastal, environmental and land development applications.
RPAS thermal inspection capability was deployed this summer in wildlife detection post-bushfires.
Amy has also done volumetric surveys of beaches and flown isolated coastal cliff faces in NSW to capture high-resolution photography and derived photogrammetric models to identify geotechnical hazards and contribute to coastal monitoring.
Charity Mundava (WaterNSW)
Title: Remote Sensing in Water Management
Details: Charity will discuss the use of GIS and remote sensing to support water catchment management, feasibility and environmental studies for critical water infrastructure across the state and to support ongoing research into and management of river catchments. Charity will touch on the significance and spatial support for this in the recent NSW bushfires coordinating reservoir availability (in drought) and access for helicopter water drops and supporting bushfire fighting efforts.
Associate Professor In-Young Yeo (University of Newcastle)
Title: Remote sensing and GIS applications for water resources management
Details: Dr Yeo will explain how remote sensing can be used as a technique for assessing soil moisture using multi-source data fusion approaches, vegetation monitoring and water requirement with remote sensing and water balance approach.
She will explain the impacts of conservation management practices in agricultural catchments assessed using catchment model and remote sensing/GIS drawing on examples from Australian and American case studies

Bentley live webinar, hosted by Spatial Source
As a result of Australia’s increasing population and unprecedented infrastructure demands, the infrastructure and construction industry is experiencing one of the biggest booms with a significant wave of projects being rolled out across the country and with many more in the pipeline.
With increasing pressure to deliver these projects on time and within budget, infrastructure Digital Twins are providing new ways to visualize assets, check status, perform analysis, generate insights and drive better decisions. The starting point for creating a digital twin is capturing the true digital representation of the physical asset.
This is typically done with various 3D capture systems that can be used to acquire massive amounts of 3D mobile mapping data; imagery, point clouds, indoor and 3D reality models, from cameras and Lidar devices mounted on UAVs.
With the volume of data acquisition expected to grow across all phases of the asset lifecycle, it is crucial that organisations have a strategy in place to manage their 3D data so they can get the right information to the right stakeholders at the right time. Join us for this webinar as we look at how it’s possible to integrate, manipulate, and manage 3D data of any size, from any system. This webinar will cover:
• An overview of Bentley’s recent acquisition of Orbit GT, a worldwide leader in offering standardised Mobile Mapping software products for a complete 3D mapping workflow.
• How you can adapt to an all in one workflow: from Capture to Share.
• User case studies in Transport, Utilities, Survey & Construction, and Governmental sectors.
• How you can use automation tools to extract the digital components from your 3D data.
• How you can bring terabytes of 3D data online and make it accessible to all project stakeholders.
