Global Intelligence Forum Brussels
"The Changing Role of Intelligence Since 9/11: Lessons For Governments, Industry & The Public"
September 20-21, 2012
Brussels, Belgium
The years since 9/11 have been a sobering, exciting and highly demanding period for nations and societies around the world. Governments, industry and the public have been called upon to combat multiple threats, both traditional and non-traditional, in diverse theaters; to learn new ways of doing business; to rethink and adapt to new ways of thinking about sharing vs. security; and to conduct relationships with entirely new partners. This has had a significant effect on the Intelligence Services of all concerned (and the industry that supports them), including how they think of, and use, intelligence, and the changing nature of the tools needed to deal with the changing role of intelligence. Indeed, one of the main takeaways of the last decade is the critical importance of incorporating lessons learned and combining that with the ability to adapt and transform quickly, often in real time. This requires an even closer collaboration among the key elements of government, industry and the general public. As the first-of-its-kind unclassified event sponsored by AFCEA Intelligence outside the U.S., this two-day forum offers intelligence and national security professionals from both the private and public sectors an opportunity to explore both the lessons we have learned and those we have not; and to do this across a gamut of intelligence-related issues, including: terrorism; cyber; support to joint operations; adopting and adapting new technologies, including new collection platforms and social media.
