U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing Industry Leaders Gather at Premiere Forum, December 1 & 2, 2003, Washington, DC.
Strategic Research Institute presents
the U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing Industry Conference, December 1 & 2, 2003,
in Washington, D.C. (www.srinstitute.com/CG101). This forum will analyze
current and future opportunities and explore key issues within the U.S.
commercial remote sensing industry, including its relationship to system and
technology partners and value-added product and service providers.
Like the new U.S. commercial remote sensing policy, this conference
intends to provide a discussion about the new framework for remote sensing
decisions, and a forum in which to create additional relationships between
government and industry decision-makers who are looking to understand the new
opportunities and challenges of commercial remote sensing. The presentations
and panels aspire to generate valuable discussion on a myriad of business
discussions related to the future of U.S. commercial remote sensing. Remote
Sensing company decision makers are invited to interact with representatives
from NASA, NOAA, NIMA, USGS, USDA, and other federal agencies during this
business-focused and information-rich, networking event. Chaired by Kevin
O’Connell, Director, Intelligence Policy Center, RAND Corporation. Keynote
presentations include a White House perspective and NIMA’s government
initiatives to promote the growing relationship between Federal Government and
the U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing Industry.
