More than 300 million terabytes of data are generated every day worldwide. In an era defined by information overload, the Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of War (DoW), are increasingly focused on harnessing data and AI to strengthen national security. From AI-powered intelligence tools to accelerated data-sharing and a more data-literate workforce, these technologies are revolutionizing mission execution.

The 2025 Advanced Data Analytics for Warfare & Intelligence Summit will convene military leaders, intelligence professionals, data scientists, and technology experts to explore the strategic application of advanced analytics, AI/ML, and real-time data integration to enhance decision-making, threat detection, mission planning, and the future of warfare operations. Key topics include emerging data strategies across the IC & DoW, workforce development, data centricity, resiliency, and interoperability. Additional sessions will include how data is driving Warfighter lethality, cutting-edge technology solutions, and cross-agency data sharing and integration

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summit’s content and focus areas. We assemble the most respected minds in data analytics, as well as key-policy makers across the IC, military services, federal government agencies and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.

Gain Education & Insight: Walk away with knowledge gained from our senior level speakers on some of the complex challenges facing the data analytics communities.

Build Partnerships: The agenda is designed to allow for ample networking opportunities and the ability to engage in constructive dialogue among all in attendance.

Influence: Help foster ideas! Share your own insight and knowledge during our interactive sessions. All attendees are encouraged to address our speaker faculty and each other with their questions, comments, or ideas.

DSI’s Summit directly supports IC & DoW priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department’s mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

DSI’s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoW and Federal employees, is considered an educational training forum, and is a widely attended gathering.

(Industry and academia members are charged a fee for admission.)
