Defense Strategies Institute’s 7th Annual Big Data for Intelligence Symposium will provide members of the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense a forum to have an open discussion about the challenges and opportunities of turning vast amounts of raw data into actionable intelligence. This Symposium will provide the Intelligence Community, US military commands, government agencies, members of academia, and technology industry leaders the opportunity to explore ways to improve the way we utilize big data for intelligence.
