WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Three Elements of a Compelling Main Stage Vignette

Opening Session vignettes are not commercials; they are concise, high-impact accounts of geospatial intelligence delivering measurable results in the real world.

01

A Concrete Real-World Event or Mission

Describe a specific event from 2025-2027: disaster response, maritime interdiction, allied exercise, infrastructure protection, environmental crisis, or warfighter support.

02

How GEOINT Tradecraft & Collaboration Worked

Explain how multi-source data, commercial sensors, AI/ML analytics, or public-private-allied collaboration uncovered the decisive insight when time mattered.

03

Compelling Visuals Cleared for Public Release

Because selected vignettes are narrated live on the Main Stage screen, high-resolution imagery, video loops, or map animations cleared for public release are strongly encouraged.

HOW TO SUBMIT

What to Include in Your Submission

  • 300 to 500 Word Narrative: The operational challenge, the GEOINT approach, the partners involved, and the measurable outcome.
  • Supporting Visuals: 1 to 3 cleared high-resolution images, maps, or short video clips illustrating the vignette.
  • Point of Contact & Attribution: Primary technical/operational contact for fact verification and approved organizational attribution.
