Leaders from Houston Public
Works, PG&E, and FAA to provide actionable insights on
advancing the commercial drone industry
PORTLAND, Maine, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Organizers of Commercial
UAV Expo, the world's leading commercial drone trade show and
conference, have released a preview of their highly anticipated
Keynote programming, including a conversation on FAA regulations
and a panel discussion highlighting successes of public and
enterprise drone programs, taking place Thursday, September 5, 2024 at Caesars Forum in
Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Thursday Keynote will begin with a discussion Outlining the
Future of Drone Regulations with the FAA, featuring Jodi Baker, Deputy Associate Administrator for
Aviation Safety at the FAA, moderated by Lisa Ellman, Executive Director, Commercial
Drone Alliance. This candid conversation will answer how drones are
factored into FAA decisions on setting, overseeing and enforcing
safety standards, and how changes have a direct impact on domestic
and international civil aviation safety. This discussion will
provide insight to help stakeholders move forward with commercial
drone operations in the short and long term.
The FAA discussion will be followed by a panel on The Secret to
Success for Public & Enterprise Drone Programs: Intentional
Implementation for Scalable Adoption, featuring Randy Macchi, Chief Operating Officer of
City of Houston, and Josh Fredriksson, Senior Director of
Inspections, Pacific Gas & Electric. Panelists will explore the
approach city services and large enterprises need to take when it
comes to rethinking workflows, reskilling the workforce and
future-proofing investments in technology. Attendees will gain
insights to develop a strategic plan for their drone programs and
an understanding of the value that drones can unlock for
organizations when it comes to performing tasks faster, cheaper and
safer.
"We know that regulation and ROI are top of mind for commercial
drone operators, and this year's keynotes will tackle both to set
the tone for the event while also providing attendees with
actionable strategies," said Jeremiah
Karpowicz, Group Editorial Director of Diversified
Communications and organizer of Commercial UAV Expo. "Everything
with drone regulation begins and ends with the FAA, so hearing what
Jodi has to say will help shape the approach anyone can take for
scaling uncrewed operations. Connected to that are the real-world
lessons and advice that Randy and Josh will share, underscoring
what it means to unlock the true value of drones and maximize ROI
at scale."

Keynote line-up will be announced soon.
The Keynotes kick off the event's robust conference program with
the theme of "Drones in Action: Current Regulations and Future
Realities," delivering practical, actionable education developed in
conjunction with industry leaders. Industry Tracks will include
sessions focused on the fast-growing verticals of Construction,
Energy and Utilities and Infrastructure and Transportation. A
dedicated Policy track will provide up-to-the-minute updates on
regulation, providing drone operators with need-to-know information
directly from regulators.
