Keynotes by NIMA leader and Intergraph top executive complement conference program focused on real-world geospatial solutions

Industry leaders, General James R. Clapper, director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), and Preetha Pulusani, president of Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions will deliver keynote addresses at GeoSpatial World 2003. GeoSpatial World is an international forum for training, networking, and gaining industry insight, focused on expanding the application of geospatial information.

General Clapper, the first civilian director of NIMA, retired as a Lieutenant General from the United States Air Force after a 32-year career. A previous director in corporate and government intelligence organizations, Clapper will discuss NIMA's creation of a new discipline known as geospatial intelligence. By integrating imagery intelligence and geospatial information, NIMA has extended the value of both types of data.
