The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) utilizes a priority point system to determine the order of selection for booth space, sponsorships, and advertising at its events. The system was developed in an effort to be as equitable as possible to all organizations and to reward those organizations that have provided the most significant financial support to the USGIF. The point system is an ongoing calculation. The point totals began with initial membership of the foundation and will continue indefinitely. USGIF will maintain the master list of priority points and will make them available to any organization at any time. Priority points are currently earned by supporting the GEOINT Symposium, GEOINT Community Week, AGIC, GEOINT Community Career Fair, USGIF Tech Days, USGIF Workshop Series Events, sponsorship of holes at USGIF hosted golf tournaments, or via a USGIF membership. As new events are created that offer sponsorship/ exhibiting opportunities, they will be incorporated into the priority point system. Points earned throughout the year will be tallied on January 1st of each year, which allows organizations to benefit from the previous year’s investment.
