Below is a press release for an intelligence conference to be held in D.C. in February. Please be advised, this conference has no connection to the list (including it's membership) or IntellNet. I was asked to simply post this release.
-Brooks PRESS RELEASE October 12, 2004 Plans Unveiled for Major National Conference on Intelligence Featuring well over 50 seminars, sessions and special events, the National Intelligence Conference and Exposition (INTELCON) will debut next February 8-10 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, just outside of Washington in Arlington, Virginia. Totally focused on all aspects of intelligence, and the relationship between intelligence and national security, its goal is to annually bring together intel professionals and members of Congress in an informal setting on neutral ground to provide educational enhancement and discuss common issues. Veteran intelligence specialist and media analyst John Loftus is directing the INTELCON Program, supported by a Program Advisory Group of notable figures within the intelligence arena and a Community Liaison Committee whose members reach out to intelligence and intel-related professionals in both the public and private sectors. Conference Chairman, Dr. William Saxton - who also founded the very first computer/IT conference for the Federal government - notes that "the willingness of so many top intel interests to come forward to volunteer their time to insure the success of this event underscores their recognition that such a unifying event is needed." Based upon a theme of "Widening the Intelligence Domain," which acknowledges that intelligence today embraces more than the civilian and military agencies of the federal intelligence community, the Conference offers five two-day Program Tracks - Federal Civilian, DOD/Military, State and Local Law Enforcement, Business, and Private Sector. In addition, there will be eight, full-day Professional Enhancement Seminars titled Trends in Intelligence Technology, Role of Congress in Intelligence Oversight, Finding and Keeping Intelligence Specialists, Reforming the Intelligence Community, View from Abroad, Sharing Intelligence, Getting the Public Involved, and Political, Policy and Legal Issues. According to Program Director Loftus, "the Tracks on days two and three are geared toward practical, nuts-and-bolts solutions in specific application areas, whereas the Professional Enhancement Seminars on the opening day are meant to appeal to the more general interests of attendees across the board." Also planned are two Plenary sessions - Counterintelligence Methods and Applications; and, How to Find and Leverage Open Source Intelligence. Luncheon and Keynote addresses by prominent speakers, and special briefings for Congress, will round out the jam-packed Program. (more) Concurrent with the Program Tracks on the latter two days of the three-day event, there will be a full-scale vendor exposition that will feature a wide spectrum of companies and products particularly relevant to intelligence interests. Its organizer is Federal Business Council of Annapolis Junction, Maryland which is also handling INTELCON's overall production.
