Social Media Was Buzzing

There was a great buzz on social media whilst DGI was taking place. Here’s a look at some of our favourite posts on LinkedIn:

Strategic Command, Past DGI Attendees - "Staying ahead of emerging threats requires innovation, collaboration and forward-thinking approaches. DGI demonstrates our commitment to working closely with allies and ensuring geospatial intelligence remains a cornerstone of national security for years to come.”

Harry Brown, OiC RAF, Royal Air Force (RAF) - "It was a real pleasure to speak about military and civil collaboration at DGI - Defence Geospatial Intelligence this week. My first experience of speaking at such a prestigious event."

Satvu, Past DGI Sponsor - "After three days of insightful discussions and tech showcases, one thing is clear: the future of defence intelligence demands new data layers. A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, challenged our thinking, and explored new ways to use thermal intelligence. See you next year!"

We even had a charity challenge running throughout the conference, with the chance to win a generous donation to a charity of your choice!
