# NGA Industry Days and Technology Showcases **Entity class:** Agency-industry engagement event family **Host:** [[wiki/National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency|National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]] **As of:** 2026-09-23 ## Definition **NGA Industry Days and Technology Showcases** is an umbrella for the agency's targeted acquisition briefings, demonstrations, technology showcases, compass meetings, and related commercial-engagement events. It is an event family, not one fixed annual conference. The public record shows both classified technology showcases and topic-specific industry days. In 2017, USGIF reported a classified NGA Tech Showcase West with more than twenty demonstrations. NGA's 2026 AI-focused Industry Day combined an unclassified morning and classified afternoon around advanced imagery exploitation, analytic systems, AI and machine learning, intelligence fusion, and predictive data-centric GEOINT. NGA separately reported nearly 400 commercial engagements in 2024, including 40 targeted demonstrations. [[wiki/Moonshot Labs|Moonshot Labs]] belongs to the same engagement architecture as an unclassified collaboration space in St. Louis, but proximity and shared purpose do not establish that every NGA showcase or industry day was hosted there. ## Relationships - **host:** [[wiki/National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency|National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]]. - **engagement facility:** [[wiki/Moonshot Labs|Moonshot Labs]]. - **enterprise:** [[wiki/National System for Geospatial Intelligence|National System for Geospatial Intelligence]]. - **event ecosystem:** [[wiki/Intelligence and Defense Conferences|Intelligence and Defense Conferences]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [NGA — AI-focused Industry Day, May 29, 2026](https://www.nga.mil/news/NGA_to_host_Industry_Day_July_10.html) - [NGA — Industry Engagement Team](https://www.nga.mil/news/Connecting_NGA_with_Commercial_Industry.html) - [USGIF trajectory report — NGA Tech Showcase West](https://usgif.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/TRJ-046_Q1_2017_Final_Web.pdf)
