The Summit, taking place in the "Silicon Valley of Drones," offers the most open airspace in the country, vast tracts of farmland, infrastructure to test on and the nation's first unmanned aircraft degree program. Now in its 12th year, The Summit will match UAS service providers with end-use clients during special presentations geared towards the utility and power, law enforcement, oil & gas, survey, agronomy & precision ag and media industries.
"For the first-time UAS service providers are matched with attendees from their main client base to explain the operations, technicalities and opportunities of their services," says Luke Geiver, editor of UAS Magazine.
