The Federal Aviation Administration’s Eighth Annual Drone Symposium and inaugural AAM Summit will be held at Maryland’s Baltimore Convention Center. The FAA is pleased to partner with the Association for Uncrewed Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI) in the planning and execution of the stakeholder-centric events.
The Drone Symposium will span the entirety of Tuesday, 01 August as well as the morning of Wednesday, 02 August 2023. This year’s event’s Time to Accelerate theme connotes the dawning age of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS); the economic, infrastructural, logistical, artistic, and humanitarian, boons of such; and the FAA’s ongoing efforts to responsibly and fairly regulate the myriad practical and technological challenges by which the coming years are apt to be characterized.
Topics to be covered at the symposium range from Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) operations and Remote ID to type certification and near-term airspace integration issues. All told, 2023’s FAA Drone Symposium stands to provide information by which stakeholders may derive maximal benefit from their Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and safely operate such within the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS).
The AAM Summit—the first FAA-led AAM-centric public conference—is slated to take place on the afternoon of Wednesday, 02 August and the entirety of Thursday, 03 August 2023. The event’s Leveraging the Skies theme speaks to the FAA’s aspiration to bring together AAM stakeholders for purpose of collaborating upon the evolution of inchoate AAM technologies and helping actualize the sector’s immense promise. Across the broad spectrum of urban and rural, short and long-haul, passenger and cargo-carrying AAM operations, the FAA is working in concert with the Advanced Air Mobility community to leverage the skies, thereby rendering the transportation of people and goods increasingly quiet, egalitarian, and efficient.
Registration for the FAA’s Drone Symposium and AAM Summit is currently open. Detailed information pertaining to the events’ agendas, speakers, and logistics will be made public in the coming weeks.
“I look forward to seeing you in Baltimore as we interact with our key stakeholders and discuss the latest on all-things drone and AAM.” So stated Jeffrey U. Vincent, sitting executive director of the FAA’s UAS Integration Office.
