AUVSI's Brian Wynn to serve as Opening Keynote for the UAS Tech Forum
We are thrilled to welcome President & CEO of AUVSI Brian Wynn as a keynote speaker at the virtual UAS Tech Forum.
For more than five years, Brian Wynn has led AUVSI, the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of unmanned systems and robotics. AUVSI represents more than 7,500 members from more than 60 countries.
"I am excited to be speaking to the UAS Tech Forum to discuss the work AUVSI is leading to unlock the full potential of unmanned technologies. The future of the UAS industry is very promising, and the impact of our innovation on the world's economy, lifestyle and society is transformative. We will only get there, however, if we work together - industry and government - to put in place the rules needed to take full advantage of the benefits this technology stands to offer," Wynne said.
Wynne joins a contingent of other accomplished speakers, thought leaders and subject matter experts for this re-imagined virtual event, including breakout-session speakers representing both public and private entities across the U.S. that are engaged in various aspects of the unmanned industry such as General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, FLIR Systems, Federal Lab Consortium, Iris Automation, Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus, Bell Helicopter, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Skydweller Aero, SkySkopes, Vigilant Aerospace Systems, and many others.
