Join USGIF for Next Generation GEOINT, the next edition of its evening networking series designed specifically for the GEOINT young professional community. This special event features distinguished recipients of the Lundahl-Finnie Lifetime Achievement Award, who will share personal stories and advice from decades of service and innovation in the GEOINT community.

Whether you’re beginning your GEOINT journey or seeking guidance on how to build a long-lasting, impactful career, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from those who shaped the field. The evening will include a moderated discussion, audience Q&A, and dedicated time for networking with peers and GEOINT veterans.

Join a Local Watch Party!

Can’t make it to Herndon? You can still be part of the action! Join fellow GEOINT young professionals and local leaders at a watch party in St. Louis or Denver. These in-person gatherings will feature a live-stream of the panel discussion, the opportunity to participate in live Q&A, time to network with the local GEOINT community in Virginia, and light snacks and refreshments.

These watch parties are a great opportunity to connect with the local geospatial ecosystem while gaining insights from national GEOINT leaders.
