Drones and Digital Aviation Conference

October 2019 News & Events, Conferences & Events

Drones have opened airspaces for everyone in ways that humans had not imagined; to the extent that there is a drone to almost every kind of problem on earth. Drones already have the ability to increase crop yields, make dangerous jobs safer and act as a lifeline for remote populations. Autonomously piloted systems have the potential to revolutionise how people and goods are transported and to support entirely new and disbursed economic society.

The Drones and Digital Aviation Conference will cover a variety of opportunities for unmanned aerial vehicles on the 28th and 29th November 2019 at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg, South Africa.

What you will learn at the Drones and Digital Aviation Conference is the many commercial opportunities drones have opened up in various industries. The speakers will discuss the latest and emerging drone applications in industries that include mining and mineral exploration, agriculture, survey and mapping, policing and public safety, wildlife and environmental conservation, sport and recreation, media, transportation; and many more industrial problems that drones have fixed.

Just like any new technology, drones have brought with them teething challenges, not least of which is how authorities should manage air space in the drone age. We will explore ways of circumventing such problems, and the legal channels that can promote a more peaceful existence between drones and larger aircraft in the air. There are also issues with data capture, protection, privacy and security.

The Drones and Digital Aviation Conference is for technology enthusiasts interested in exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by drones, and the best ways in which the law and technology can come together to optimise industrial operations through disruptive innovation.

Many municipal professionals are thinking outside the box to solve today’s urban municipal problems like population growth and migration; sustainable growth and health service delivery; attending the Drones and Digital Aviation Conference will help you answer these questions and more.
