Our nation faces national security challenges more dynamic and rapidly evolving than ever before. This requires NGA to rethink and retool its business models and technical approaches to meet the security needs of the nation. In that spirit, it is vital NGA and collaborators from industry, government, and academia have a shared understanding of what future capabilities are needed and how NGA plans to build and acquire them.

This unclassified virtual summit is designed to give members of industry, academia, nonprofits and other government elements, insight into NGA’s strategic thinking, and how the agency plans to develop its future operational environment – particularly with respect to the MAVEN program – including the architectures and tools which support it. This level of strategic engagement is intended to further advance NGA’s ongoing dialog with these key constituents to advance the collective partnership and achieve NGA’s national security objectives.
