DRONES IN ACTION
WELCOME TO COMMERCIAL UAV EXPO!
On behalf of our entire team, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the tenth edition of Commercial UAV Expo, proudly presented by Commercial UAV News. This milestone marks a decade of remarkable growth and evolution in commercial UAS, and we are excited to celebrate this journey with you.
Since our launch in 2015, Commercial UAV Expo and Commercial UAV News have been at the heart of driving collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange within the UAS sector. As we gather under the theme “Drones in Action: Current Realities & Future Frontiers,” we look forward to exploring the latest advancements and envisioning the future of this dynamic industry together.
This year, we invite you to immerse yourself in the maxed-out exhibit hall, where 225 leading solution providers will showcase their cutting-edge technologies and groundbreaking advancements. It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the future of UAVs and discover new innovations.
Our conference program promises to deliver deep insights into the impact of drone applications, with a special focus on construction, energy & utilities, and infrastructure. These sessions will highlight the transformative technologies that are shaping these critical sectors.
We are thrilled to introduce the Pilot Hub, a new feature in the Exhibit Hall dedicated to drone pilot education. Here, you’ll find practical, actionable insights that you can apply immediately to enhance your skills. DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety Summit returns to explore how drones are enhancing public safety operations and the new FLYING HY Conference dives into the future of hydrogen-powered flight.
To elevate your experience, visit the Level Up Lounge, where you can benefit from brand consultations and professional headshots. This space is designed to support your personal and professional development, providing valuable resources and insights to take your brand to the next level.
Finally, take full advantage of the numerous networking opportunities throughout the event. Connect with industry leaders, potential collaborators, and fellow professionals to foster new business connections and explore collaborative possibilities.
Thank you for joining us.
We hope you have an inspiring and productive event!
