Exhibits
In this new environment, vendors are crafting their virtual booths to take full advantage of the online format. Interact with the exhibits, schedule live meetings and product demos, participate in live chat and Q&A and more for a robust and immersive show experience.
Networking
Take advantage of personalized matchmaking with vendors and other attendees. Schedule virtual meetings. All participants will receive recommendations which will continually be refined based on interactions with the AI algorithm powered by Grip. Topic-specific roundtable discussions will be available by invitation.
Workshops, Training & Flying Demonstrations
In addition to the main conference program, leading organizations will be offering exclusive training, workshops and demos. Enhance your knowledge, develop new skills, and make important connections by taking advantage of these offerings.
How does it work?
Although the virtual event experience will be a different way to be together, attendees will still reap all the benefits commercial UAS professionals have come to expect: critical, timely education; opportunities to network and engage; and the ability to learn about the newest technology in the industry.
You’ll receive login information and instructions two weeks before the virtual event. Then you can customize your agenda, start networking, schedule meetings and get geared up for September 15-17!
Please note! All live offerings and content will take place in US PST time zone.
