/
The 2023 Energy Drone & Robotics Summit—our 7th annual—is in the books, and we’re calling it a success! So are others.
Check out some of the photos and session recaps below and on the #EDRSummit LinkedIn hashtag.
A Recap of Recaps
Chris Haines, VP of Strategy at HUVRdata, did a recap on his experience at the summit, including what he saw as key industry initiatives, his favorite sessions, and other noteworthy takeaways.
Chad Burge, who runs the Chaddington Post, highlighted some of the drones and technology on display at the expo. There’s also some fun Rick Roll teasing, and we’re not going to try to Rick Roll you here because that’s too obvious.
DRONELIFE did a recap of the keynote speech, “Money & Markets: What’s Hot Today & Tomorrow for Robotics/Drones – Analysts Perspective,” with speaker Hendrik Bödeker of Drone Industry Insights (DRONEII). In this session, Bödeker broke down the drone market size, forecasts, investments, and trends.
DRONELIFE also covered the panel session, “Drone Security Without Sacrifice,” which featured DRONELIFE Editor Miriam McNabb, so she knows what she’s talking about. The group discussed the industry’s biggest cybersecurity concerns, resources for ensuring data security, manufacturer and vendor security certifications, and more.
