GEOINT 2022 Innovative Tradecraft Competition 
Entries Open January 12 

 

First Round: Wednesday, March 16, 0830-1600

Herndon, Virginia (November 30, 2021)— The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation ( USGIF) and the Open Geospatial Consortium ( OGC) bring you this third annual Innovative Tradecraft Competition, an opportunity for USGIF and OGC members to demonstrate innovative GEOINT solutions addressing mission problems through visualization, discovering needles in needle stacks, data sharing, and interoperability. This year, we’d like to see how our community might tackle seemingly intractable problems leveraging GEOINT. Solving problems like deep fakes, cyber threats, climate change, space junk, and social unrest may seem daunting, but the power of GEOINT may be the foundation to make progress against these daunting challenges. Whether you choose to address one of those problems, or tackle a different intractable problem, we’d love to see what our community can offer as a way to get started on a solution or mitigation.  

Competitors may represent a single organization or multiple organizations (multi-org teams must identify a lead organization), however, each entry will be limited to one presenter. Competitors may wish to avail themselves of free and open data sources listed in the USGIF Educational Anthology for development activities related to the competition and/or use proprietary datasets and capabilities.  

Each entry includes admission for the presenter and up to three guests to attend the first-round competition. Note: with USGIF/OGC permission, presenters may attend/present virtually. 

Each competitor will have one briefer present for a maximum of five minutes. You may use slides and/or video to help tell the story.
