USGIF Opens GEOINT Community Week Registration


Herndon, VA (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) released its agenda and opened registration for GEOINT Community Week 2013, during which various education, technology, and networking events are held in the Northern Virginia region May 20-23. This year’s GEOINT Community Week will emphasize training and professional development, with numerous learning opportunities available throughout the week.

“We have added a truly world-class set of educational training sessions scheduled during GEOINT Community Week, including on-site training at NCE and at the Reston Hyatt,” said USGIF Vice President of Professional Development Dr. Darryl Murdock. “This educationally-focused training marks the beginning of a new chapter for USGIF, and we are excited that GEOINT Community Week continues to grow and change to address the needs of our global GEOINT community.”

GEOINT Community Week consists of NGA Tech Showcase East and a special edition of GEOINTeraction Tuesday on May 21. Wednesday, May 22, will feature a Spatial Literacy workshop presented by Esri, and a presentation and networking event by USGIF’s Young Professionals Group. USGIF Technology Day on Thursday, May 23, will include nearly 20 professional development, education and training offerings, in addition to an array of technology exhibits. Education and training sessions will include topics such as activity-based intelligence, eContent for GEOINT training, JEMA, human geography, crowd sourcing, hyperspectral target detection, disaster relief, spatial statistics, databasing concepts, full-motion video, and more.

USGIF CEO Keith Masback noted the importance of events like GEOINT Community Week: “Given the drastic reduction in opportunities for government, industry, and academia to gather and discuss the broad set of challenges we face in this difficult fiscal environment, we’re excited GEOINT Community Week continues to grow and change to address the needs of our Community,” he said. “We anticipate a really exciting week of valuable interaction and learning.”

New Funding Option Opens Up for London Businesses

(PRWEB) October 16, 2005

London-based management consultancy, Onset management Ltd, has become the gateway into a new capital market opened up by recent changes to financial regulations by HM Treasury. The changes allow the free flow of information between capital-starved early-stage businesses, and the successful entrepreneurs who want to invest in them. Onset management acts as the quality control over business plans and assists in preparing fund-seeking clients for the due diligence which is always conducted by investors. They then post the investment opportunity to the Development Capital Exchange (DCX) through which incoming inquiries from prospective investors are taken.

Simon Paul, Director of Onset Management said, We see the new early-stage investment market as a superb opportunity to widen our service to clients. We are now in a position to assist aspiring entrepreneurs and, even, established businesses raise informal equity funding, instead of having to rely on debt. This is an activity thats been popularized by the BBCs Dragons Den programme, although I have to point out that the real-world Dragons Den which we work in is far removed from the entertainment we see on the television.

The early-stage investment market enables successful entrepreneurs to off-set their capital gains liabilities through exploiting the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs). For fund-seekers, the investor will usually join the company as a director and contribute not only his capital but priceless business experience to the growing enterprise. It is estimated that there are between 20,000 and 50,000 early-stage businesses seeking funding and as many as 150,000 entrepreneurs who want to invest in them at any one time across the UK.

Funding deals range between
