What do pilots, fleet managers, and commercial drone operators actually think about the state of the commercial drone industry? Earlier this year, Commercial UAV News and Pilot Institute set out to find out, surveying the practitioners and professionals who keep operations running every day.
In this keynote, Commercial UAV News Content Manager Matt Collins will share highlights from that research, spotlighting the trends, frustrations, and opportunities that emerged directly from the people closest to the work. He’ll then be joined by Greg Reverdiau, Pilot Institute’s co-founder for a wide-ranging conversation about what the data means for the industry’s trajectory — from regulatory hurdles and hardware procurement to workforce development and the future of commercial drone operations.
This session puts operator voices at the center, offering an unfiltered look at what the commercial drone industry is experiencing on the ground, and where the people doing the work believe it needs to go from here.
