FAA UAS Symposium goes online

By General Aviation News Staff · June 9, 2020 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The FAA and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) will host a two-part virtual event for the FAA UAS Symposium – Remotely Piloted Edition.

Episode I, scheduled for July 8-9, will focus on UAS traffic management (UTM) and international UAS integration.

Episode II, planned for Aug. 18-19, will focus on the UAS Integration Pilot Program.

Each event will feature keynote presentations, expert panels, guided and non-guided networking discussions, one-on-one meetings with experts in the FAA UAS Support Center, and How-To Sessions with live Q&A.

The annual symposium, which is co-hosted by the FAA and AUVSI, brings together industry and safety professionals, technology experts, and regulators to share safety information and updates among the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) community. It was originally set for June 16-18 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

“As a community, we have made significant progress since our last UAS Symposium,” said Jay Merkle, FAA’s executive director for UAS Integration. “Even in these extraordinary times, it is important to continue our integration work, deliver information on best practices, and discuss innovative approaches to our shared challenges.”

Additional details about the agenda and registration information is available on the symposium’s website. Registration ranges from $150 to $375.
