The new board members join returning advisory board members including: Gretchen West, Hogan Lovells; Eric Cheng, Eric Cheng Photography; Lisa Ellman, Hogan Lovells; John “JC” Coffey, Cherokee Nation Technology Portfolio; Matt Merrifield, Nature Conservancy of California; Andrea Steffke, Chevron Energy Technology Company; Tony Carmean, Aerial MOB, LLC; Robert Blair, Measure; Matt Parker, Precision Integrated Programs; Max Motschwiller, Meritech Capital; Jonathan Evans, Skyward; Chidambaram Somu, DPR Construction; Michael Drobac, Small UAV Coalition; John Palatiello, MAPPS; Andreas Raptopoulos, Matternet; Colin Guinn, 3D Robotics; Stephanie Spear, National Association of Realtors®; Eric Woodyard, Quantum Spatial; and Jesse Kallman, Airware.
The advisory board will shape a two-day conference that will feature sessions and case studies addressing the new rules being implemented by the FAA as well as the most up to date and important information for commercial industries using drone technology including cinematography, agriculture, construction, utilities, oil & gas, humanitarian and conservation initiatives, and real estate.  Sessions will focus on updates from the FAA, commercial strategies, data collection and processing, sensors, piloting and safety management, certification standards, 3D imaging/printing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Drone World Expo is now accepting speaker and session proposals until Friday, March 18, 2016. Speakers with exciting ideas that will inspire, surprise and inform DWE attendees should submit proposals that contain factual, educational content and avoid sales pitches.  To submit a speaker or session submission, click here.
