We are excited to welcome the community to GEOINT Symposium 2026, taking place May 3–6 in Aurora, Colorado.

Each year during the opening session, Ronda Schrenk, CEO of USGIF, and Robert Cardillo, Chairman of the USGIF Board of Directors, share a series of powerful, mission-focused “vignettes” from the main stage. These brief stories spotlight the exceptional accomplishments made possible by the expertise, innovation, and dedication of our USGIF member organizations—and they continue to be a highlight of the Symposium.

We invite USGIF members to submit an example that showcases your team’s success in GEOINT tradecraft, technology, or innovation and demonstrates real-world mission impact.

Submission deadline: February 22, 2026

Submitted vignettes will be considered for inclusion. 

Submission guidelines:

    •    Provide one slide highlighting your example, along with a supporting document that clearly explains:

    •    the challenge or issue addressed

    •    the capability or approach applied

    •    the measurable or meaningful impact achieved

    •    Vignettes should be designed for a 90–120 second presentation

    •    Multiple slides are acceptable, provided the total content does not exceed the 120-second limit
