Defense & Intelligence Symposium
Reservation Required: This session requires a reservation to attend. Please use Add to Schedule to reserve your spot or Join Wait List to be added to the queue.

In an era of contested domains, data overload, and rapid decisions, ArcGIS evolves as a complete System for Mission—integrating geospatial intelligence, operational data, and analytics into a unified environment for decision advantage from HQ to the tactical edge. This symposium shows how defense and intelligence use ArcGIS to fuse data, model complex, operational environments, synchronize planning and execution, and deliver actionable insights. Attendees will see how ArcGIS enables mission command, speeds the OODA loop, and supports decisive, coordinated action across the full mission lifecycle.

  • Object-Centric Data Management Across Every Echelon
    This session focuses on how ArcGIS can swiftly analyze sensor and human data feeds. Fused object custody contextualizes information for commanders. Esri technology allows you to conduct enterprise analysis—correlating data while maintaining provenance—empowering confident decision-making. This allows analysts to deliver contextualized, decision-ready data to operations personnel to achieve desired outcomes based on your commander’s guidance and intent.
