2025 Lightning Talk Application
Ends on
Thank you for your interest in applying to present a Lightning Talk at the Innovation Hub during USGIF's 2025 GEOINT Symposium! Applications will close January 17, 2025.
The Symposium is slated for May 18 - 21 at the America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lightning Talks are 5-minute presentations on a new idea, project, or technology, or topic our GEOINT audience may want to know about. These are not company pitches!
Presenters must be USGIF individual or organizational members. Presenters must be available to present any time during the three days of GEOINT programming - once time slots are assigned and sent, there is very little "wiggle room".
To be considered for a presentation spot, fill out the application. Only one application per proposal, please.
Once applications close, USGIF's selection committee will review each application. We will notify you about your acceptance in at the end of February 2025*. Please note that those selected to present a Lightning Talk are responsible for their own travel, accommodations, and registration.
*Applicants should expect to receive primary communications from USGIF about the status of their submissions through USGIF's Submittable account.
