The importance of remotely sensed data and technologies to support natural disasters has prompted attention and action in Washington.

New initiatives and legislation authorizing appropriations to the remote sensing industry will be discussed at Strategic Research Institute's U.S. Commercial Remote Sensing Industry conference, scheduled for February 9-10, 2006 in Washington D.C.

This year's conference is designed for analysts, senior managers, cartographers and project directors, among other decision makers from the aerial, satellite and value-adding sectors.

Congressman Mark Udall from the District of Colorado will discuss the need to encourage the development and integrated use by the public and private sectors of remote sensing and other geospatial information. He will be among an admirable speaking faculty of experts who are vested in the industry.

Such speakers include: Ron Birk, Director of the Applied Sciences Program, NASA, who will speak about partnering with public, academic, and private organizations to pursue innovative approaches for using research results that focus on applications of national priority; Kevin O'Connell, Director, Center for Intelligence Research and Analysis, who will explore trends and new aspects of competition in remote sensing; and Tim Huddleston, Chairman of the Board of Directors, National Aerospace Development Center, who will describe the future of the nation's aerospace infrastructure as a catalyst for new economic growth and business.

The program will have insightful sessions that compliment the commercial remote sensing industry and networking opportunities that spark new relationships. Delegates will leave the conference with a better understanding of where the industry is moving and the knowledge they need to better compete in this dynamic, changing industry and expanding market.
