Industry-Related Suppliers And Vendors Invited To Experience Outstanding Networking Opportunity
Emerging trends and technologies shaping the unmanned aircraft systems industry in Oregon will highlight the state’s first UAS Summit & Expo, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 10 at the Riverhouse Convention Center in Bend. The Oregon UAS Summit & Expo is free.
Industry-related suppliers and vendors who attend the event will have an opportunity to be included on the Oregon Preferred vendor list, which is shared with companies building UAV projects across the country.
The inaugural Summit will also feature expert commentary from numerous industry-related speakers including a keynote address from U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, a vocal supporter of Oregon’s UAS industry, as well as a vendor expo.
“Oregon UAS Summit & Expo is an exciting opportunity to learn about the latest UAS storylines coming out of our state and for industry-related suppliers to network,” said Earl Bowerman, executive director of SOAR, a nonprofit that supports UAS growth in Oregon. “UAV manufacturers, regional business leaders, research institutions and test range operators will all be gathered in one place to offer economic insight, technology updates and other topics impacting Oregon’s rapidly growing UAS industry.”
