USGIF is now accepting applications for the GEOINT 2024 Symposium Young Professionals Golden Ticket program. Each year, USGIF offers the Golden Ticket program as an opportunity for young professionals (35 years old or younger or less than five years in the industry) to earn participation in a competitive, exclusive program designed for junior GEOINTers. The program includes mentoring sessions with senior GEOINT leaders, an invitation to USGIF’s Chairman’s Reception, and much more.

Participants earn complimentary full registration to the annual GEOINT Symposium. They also receive complimentary access to two training sessions of their choosing. Awardees are responsible for their own housing and travel.

It is important for applicants to understand that the program is not a way to simply earn free registration to GEOINT Symposium. Instead, it is a unique opportunity to participate in an immersive program that spans the length of the Symposium. This program is intended for young professionals who will be committed to the activities and professional development.

Applications are due by Monday, January 15 at midnight EST. Along with the application, you must submit a résumé and one letter of recommendation. To apply, visit: USGIF Golden Ticket Application.
