Live From InterDrone 2018
The drone industry has become one of the most expansive and all-encompassing fields in recent years. At the InterDrone Conference in Las Vegas, Nev. this week, drones are the common thread tying professionals from agriculture, mining, construction, energy and entertainment industries together.
More than 110 training sessions and workshops will also be conducted at the conference, which runs from Sept. 5-7. Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration Daniel K. Elwell is delivering the conference’s grand opening keynote
MarketScale is in attendance at this year’s conference, catching up with professionals who count on drones daily to run and improve their businesses. Pilots, manufacturers, developers and videographers have all made their way to the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas to learn about the most cutting-edge drone technology and products.

With the proliferation of drone technology that is also affordable to consumers, drones have never been so popular. But with any new technology boom, a lot of uncertainty arises in terms of safety and privacy.
Opening keynote speakers are already digging in to the revolutionary power of drones, but not letting people forget that public opinion is hazy.
“Opinions on drones are still being formed, and that’s in your favor.”

One of the biggest roadblocks to full drone integration into our airspace falls on the inability to universally ID unmanned aircrafts.
“We have to be able to identify every drone in the airspace and who’s operating it.”

Gotta love the trade show floor… so many drones, so little time! #InterDrone pic.twitter.com/NAlaDA7kYL

Powerful words from Elwell for a conference hall full of drone professionals.
“If you share the FAA’s goals of fully integrating drones into our airspace as soon as possible, don’t just think the business case…think the safety case, because they go hand in hand.” #InterDrone
