A special session will be held with the Boundless leadership team at booth #1628 on Monday, May 16th from 4-5pm. Topics include how to build a #ThinkOpen strategy for the corporate enterprise and how open source GIS is supporting the GEOINT mission.
“With the explosion of location-based information available to the intelligence and homeland security spaces, the demand for technology platforms to be able to provide visualization, analysis, and answers to key intelligence questions is higher now than ever before,” says Brian Monheiser, Director of Federal Programs at Boundless. “We are proud to support both the USGIF and the GEOINT Symposium, and promoting how open source technologies can provide mission-ready capabilities to meet these demands.”
