Carahsoft Announces 2016 Geospatial Executive Breakfast,
October 12 in Herndon, Virginia

Second Annual Event Gathers Public Sector Leaders to Discuss Geospatial Technology Trends


Reston, VA – October 7, 2016 – CarahsoftTechnology Corp., the trusted government IT solutions provider, today announced its second annual Geospatial Executive Breakfast on Wednesday, October 12 in Herndon, VA. The event will feature keynote presentations from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the Department of Transportation, as well as sessions led by sponsors The HumanGeo, Geofeedia and Boundless.

The geospatial industry has been evolving since the first maps were drawn, but in many ways it is still considered to be young and emergent. The creation and availability of new, innovative technologies is rapidly changing the way both industry and government are aggregating, analyzing and applying geospatial data.

This event was developed exclusively for government attendees to facilitate a forum for discussion about how geospatial technologies can fuse relevant, location-based data with modern mapping platforms to more effectively process information and enable better decision-making.

Experts from government and industry will highlight specific technologies and discuss how they are currently being used in the federal space, as well as emerging trends that could shape the future of geospatial intelligence. Keynote speakers include:

  • Jim Long, GEOINT Services Integration Lead, Xperience, NGA
  • Greg McCaffrey, Senior Director of Federal Programs, Geofeedia
  • Anthony Calamito, Federal CTO, Boundless
  • Steve Lewis, Chief Geospatial Information Officer, DOT

“This event presents an invaluable opportunity for government stakeholders to meet and develop relationships with public sector experts in the geospatial technology industry,” said Tiffany Goddard, Director of Geospatial Solutions at Carahsoft. “There is an inspiring culture of innovation in government technology, and we are proud to create an environment for government and industry collaboration.”
