Commercial UAV Expo was announced as an official filming location for the upcoming multi-part docuseries produced through a partnership from Supporting Partner Women and Drones and Monumental Access. The partnership focuses on inspiring the next generation of talented aviation leaders by capturing the stories and footage of women in the drone industry.
The docuseries will offer a behind-the-scenes look into the professionals, especially women, in the uncrewed aviation space. Read the Women and Drones press release here and listen to the Commercial UAV News podcast about the documentary.
Commercial UAV Expo is a community and a resource for commercial drone professionals. Our mission is to recognize and foster a more diverse environment which is critical to the growth of the industry and its workforce.
Commercial UAV Expo has launched the UAV Empower initiative with a mission to empower underrepresented groups in the commercial drone industry. We aim to foster diversity and inclusion in all aspects of the event, from speakers and exhibitors to attendees and supporting organizations. To do this, we are continuing to expand our partnership programs, offering UAV Empower passes for complimentary exhibit hall admission and discounted conference passes to reduce financial barriers to entry. Complimentary conference passes may also be available – please inquire about availability. Commercial UAV Expo is also reaching out to members of the commercial drone industry to discuss how the event can further support DEI initiatives in the industry, including offering complimentary promotions to expand visibility for our partners’ DEI initiatives.
Through these efforts, we aim to influence and encourage an ecosystem for the open exchange of ideas and the ongoing pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the commercial UAS industry.
UAV Empower is part of Diversified Communications Diversity, Equity + Inclusion efforts to recognize its responsibility to drive discussions and actively advance the principles of racial equality, social justice, and inclusion. Through these efforts, we aim to influence and encourage an ecosystem for the open exchange of ideas and the ongoing pursuit of best practices.
