Commercial UAV Expo launches new Advanced Airspace Summit

Organ­is­ers of Com­mer­cial UAV Expo have announced an impor­tant addi­tion to this year’s con­fer­ence pro­gram: the Advanced Air­space Sum­mit. Com­mer­cial UAV Expo takes place on 5–7 Sep­tem­ber at Cae­sars Forum in Las Vegas, and the Advanced Air­space Sum­mit will be held on Wednes­day 6 Sep­tem­ber as part of the event’s con­fer­ence pro­gram.

“There is cur­rent­ly a large gap between crewed and uncrewed avi­a­tion,” said Jere­mi­ah Kar­pow­icz, group edi­to­r­i­al direc­tor at Diver­si­fied Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, organ­is­er of Com­mer­cial UAV Expo.

“Com­mer­cial UAV Expo is work­ing to bridge that gap and cre­ate trust with­in the entire­ty of the air­space com­mu­ni­ty – includ­ing the gen­er­al pub­lic. As the com­mer­cial drone indus­try con­tin­ues to grow, the UAS com­mu­ni­ty needs to address stake­hold­ers’ chal­lenges and con­cerns so that we can build the future of the air­space togeth­er.

“This addi­tion to our con­fer­ence pro­gram will allow atten­dees to dis­cuss where the indus­try is today, how the tech­nol­o­gy will evolve, what reg­u­la­to­ry changes will like­ly be nec­es­sary, and what chal­lenges the indus­try will face relat­ed to pas­sen­ger expec­ta­tions and pub­lic accep­tance.”

Toni Drum­mond, pres­i­dent of Titan Avi­a­tion Glob­al, added: “The next rev­o­lu­tion of sus­tain­able avi­a­tion will depend on all stake­hold­ers work­ing togeth­er to devel­op solu­tions that will car­ry us direct­ly into the future.”

The Advanced Air­space Sum­mit is a part of the full con­fer­ence pro­gram and for­mat­ted as a two-part pan­el series on the after­noon of 6 Sep­tem­ber. Ses­sions will seek to answer the ques­tions:
What should we be doing as an indus­try to increase secu­ri­ty and trust?
How can we build bet­ter air­space aware­ness today?
Why is doing so vital to the future of air­space as a whole?
