National Press Club, Washington, D.C.

LexisNexis will host its next Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Round Table at the National Press Club on December 15, 2010. Doors open at noon, program to begin at 1:00pm. The focus of this event will continue our exploration of "OSINT 2020: The Future of Open Source Intelligence."

The program will include keynote remarks by Mr. Doug Naquin, Director of the DNI Open Source Center, followed by a "perspectives" discussion with leading experts among our group of distinguished attendees. The discussion will be based on the future of OSINT as a recognized discipline in strategic and tactical national security decision-making.

The OSINT Round Table was created to make a public space for discussion about the government’s needs for Open Source Intelligence and to facilitate relationships between government officials and private sector leaders. We seek to foster an increasingly responsive open source intelligence infrastructure that meets the needs of national security decision makers.
