DGI 2009 is Europe’s largest annual gathering dedicated to high-level discussion addressing the major challenges of the defence and government geospatial intelligence community. Bringing together Heads of Geospatial Intelligence, GIS, Remote Sensing, Operations, and Imagery and Analysis, the conference provides a unique forum to discuss and debate the development of geospatial intelligence capabilities across the globe.
Addressing the use of geospatial information in scenarios such as international conflicts, humanitarian disasters, crime, security, border control, arms treaty monitoring and global climate change, a fundamental objective of the event is to help organisations understand how to build the necessary infrastructure and architecture to take advantage of geospatial intelligence capabilities.

What Makes DGI 2009 A Must-Attend Event?
DGI is the only geospatial event in the world that the UK MoD sends over 60 senior staff members and budget holders to each year. Why?
- 52 case studies from leading defence and government organisations
No other event in Europe delivers anywhere near as many real-life, practical case studies from the world’s leading defence and government organisations. You don’t come to DGI to listen to sales pitches from solution providers, you come to learn from your peers and help shape future geospatial intelligence strategy and policy. - The most comprehensive programme in the industry
No other event in the world delivers a programme that is as comprehensive or focused as DGI 2008. Every aspect of data collection, analysis, dissemination and interoperability that is important to you is addressed, and scenarios as diverse as international conflicts, humanitarian disasters, crime, security, border control, arms treaty monitoring and global climate change are studied. Take a look at the agenda and see for yourself. - Networking opportunities with peers from over 25 nations
In 2007, DGI attracted defence and government budget holders from the UK, US, France, Germany, Russia, Canada, Israel, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands, South Africa, Austria, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Macedonia as well as multinational organisations such as NATO, the European Space Agency, EU Military Staff and EU Satellite Centre.
