Alberta is a Canadian leader in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), often called drones. RPAS (drone) companies, researchers, policymakers and ecosystem-builders can capitalize on a multi-billion dollar sector by connecting our provincial assets to grow the RPAS sector in Alberta and beyond.
Drone Conference brings together RPAS (drone) stakeholders, industry (such as Ag, Energy, Mining, Forestry, and Safety), municipalities, policymakers, post-secondary institutions and regional innovation networks across Alberta to highlight the projects and growth opportunities in the RPAS (drone) sector.
