Why Omaha

Home to Offutt AFB and U.S. Strategic Command

As in 2017, the conference planning team will have a marketing effort focused on promoting the DoDIIS Worldwide Conference to the local federal government and military. The strategy of positioning the conference in close proximity to members of the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense enables more government attendees to experience the DoDIIS Worldwide and allows more exposure and face-to-face networking for the DoDIIS Worldwide exhibitors.

Attendance by Proximity Statistics

“Aside from the conference content, the most beneficial aspect of DoDIIS this year was taking advantage of the local NGA presence in St. Louis. Coordinating activities and incorporating them into the conference was an added benefit and increased the value of travelling to the conference and spending several days away from the office.”
