Social Media Was Buzzing
There was a great buzz on social media whilst DGI 2024 was taking place. Here’s a look at some of our favourite posts on LinkedIn:
Eleanor Lashford RMet MSc, MOD Relationship Manager - Land, Met Office - “I’ve just spent the last two days at my first DGI, and I’ve had a great time listening and talking to many experts in the Geospatial Intelligence area from all over the world. A variety of topics were presented, and two highlights for me were the discussions on climate change this afternoon, and 3D data mapping yesterday.”
Trevor Otto, SDR – Defense & Intelligence, Planet - “Wrapping up a great week at the 20th anniversary of DGI - Defence Geospatial Intelligence in London!
