As the commercial drone industry scales globally, no two questions matter more than how fast regulations are evolving and whether operators can count on consistency across borders. This moderated keynote panel brings together leaders from the FAA and EASA for a candid conversation on the state of drone regulation in the United States and Europe.
Panelists will compare progress on BVLOS operations, examining how the FAA and EASA are shaping scalable, routine flight beyond visual line of sight. The discussion will explore how each authority approaches operational waivers and exemptions, where risk-based frameworks like SORA and emerging U.S. approval pathways align, and where meaningful differences remain.
Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where global regulatory frameworks are heading, what operators should watch for in the next phase of rulemaking, and how the FAA and EASA are learning from each other’s successes and setbacks in building a safer, more scalable drone ecosystem.
