The 2018 SUSB Expo Journal

The 2018 SUSB Expo Journal

Every year people ask what separates the Small Unmanned Systems Exposition from all the rest, what we showcase here is the future. No platitudes or hype just information focused on building businesses and creating jobs.

The companion journal is a compendium of articles from Speakers, sponsors and other contributors who have a message of value to share with the community. The materials provided by Expo participants serve as a primer for their presentations as well as help illustrate some of the larger issues and challenges that we as an industry need to face in the next six to eighteen months.

Subjects include some of the perfunctory regulatory topics as well as considerations and solutions for a viable way forward. There are also a few articles highlighting professional applications, best practices for safe operations as well as some proposals for educating future generations of droners that will undoubtedly help this technology fulfill its promise.

We would like to thank our advertisers, and the SUSB Expo sponsors for their support and commitment to building a viable future for us all.  See you at the Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition in beautiful San Francisco, CA on April 25th and 26th  www.susbexpo.com
