In Denver, we have a unique opportunity to showcase real-life solutions and applications in an open environment. Join us for outdoor demonstrations and opportunities to fly!
Featuring:
This two-day forum offers public safety practitioners the opportunity to engage with each other and experts in the field while discussing key issues of interest to the community. A combination of panel sessions and stand-alone presentations will focus on UAS response and recovery operations following natural disasters, UAS integration into fire service operations, search and rescue missions, training considerations and real-world insights on integrating UAS technologies into public safety operations across applications and departments.
The future belongs to those who believe they have the power to make a difference. Imagine the possibilities that exist when top engineering minds gather together to harness the power of their imagination, skill and ingenuity to innovate solutions for the unmanned systems industry. Imagination becomes reality at XBuild, a new buildathon/hackathon taking place at XPONENTIAL 2018.
