Call for Speakers

Call for Speakers – Deadline February 28, 2018

Commercial UAV Expo Americas is the leading North American conference and exhibition focused on commercial UAV/UAS integration and operation for large enterprise industrial users. The event takes place October 1-3, 2018 in Las Vegas. 

In a market changing as rapidly as UAS, education is critical. At Commercial UAV Expo Americas, we carefully develop conference topics in cooperation with an Advisory Board of esteemed professionals. We thoroughly vet prospective speakers to ensure our speakers are the best in their topic area. Our goal: to provide outstanding, actionable information on the critical issues industrial users face integrating or operating UAS and to provide a glimpse at what’s coming next for UAS.

Can you deliver on these objectives?
If the answer is YES, we invite you to submit an abstract for one of these topic areas:  

General Sessions

• Regulation/Legislative
• Security/Counterdrone Technology
• Future of Robotics/Drone Technology

Vertical Industry Tracks: Enterprise Integration & Operation

• Civil Infrastructure
• Construction
• Emergency Response/SAR
• Film/Television
• Government
• Law Enforcement/Public Safety
• Mining & Aggregates
• Precision Agriculture
• Process, Power & Utilities
• Surveying & Mapping

Preferred presentations for industry vertical sessions should include an application overview (project in brief); hardware and software selection (capture, deliverables, data storage and sharing); assessment of ROI and best practices.

Preference will be given to asset owner presenters (the end users of the data). Vendors are encouraged to nominate asset owner customers to present or co-present. Product presentations will not be selected for the main program (but are available to exhibiting companies in the Product Previews section of pre-conference programming.)

Please note: Presentations must be original and not a repeat of a presentation given at another conference. Commercial presentations will not be considered for the main program.

The Commercial UAV Expo Advisory Board will review each abstract; the final program will be announced in March, 2018.
