UAS Tech Forum Less Than Two Weeks Away
The P word is one that we have all heard a lot these days…pivot. It has been a year of pivots. Sometimes these pivots bring about rapid change that would have taken years. Pre-pandemic, virtual events were taking place behind the scenes and now they are the only game in town.
We are excited to be part of this new frontier. Forget what you knew about networking, the days of wandering around a reception or a giant hall hoping you strike up the right conversation with the right person is a thing of the past (remember measuring your success at an event with how many business cards you could collect?) We invite you to move forward, remain relevant, stay informed and connect like never before.
But, you can't play if you don't register to attend. Here's just a sample of registered attendees all waiting to network with you.
Flir Systems, Inc., NASA, Oklahoma State University, PrecisionHawk, University of Oklahoma, Navatek, Bell Helicopter, Federal Aviation Administration, Kansas State University Polytechnic, Kittyhawk, Vigilant Aerospace Systems, Inc., AiRXOS, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., Skydweller and so many more…
See you at the Forum!
