NGA & Industry Engagement

As part of our effort to sustain and continually improve our value to AFCEA Intelligence partners, we're pleased to announce the second year of a special engagement opportunity with NGA in conjunction with the 2019 Spring Intelligence Symposium.

On Tuesday, March 19, at 1:00 p.m., NGA's Office of Ventures and Innovation (OVI) will offer an overview of the ways in which NGA is lead-turning IC acquisition, industry engagement, and public-private partnerships.  They'll identify key elements of NGA's engagement and outreach strategy as well as their perspective on NGA's current information and capability gaps.  The panel will include Christy Monaco, Chief Ventures Officer; Diana Hughes, Chief, Small Business Office and CAPT Rick Myllenbeck, USN, Industry Engagement Officer.   There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.

This opportunity is unclassified and open to all sponsors and exhibitors at the Spring Intelligence Symposium.

Please join us at 1:00 p.m. on March 19 in NGA’s Banneker Room, accessible directly from the atrium.
