UTM Convention 2016 is not like the other drone shows out there.

The UTM Convention 2016 agenda is designed to educate attendees on all things UAS Traffic Management, and only UAS Traffic Management (UTM).

With 30 hours of education spread out over three days (Nov. 8-10, 2016), including a private tour of New York’s FAA-designated UAS test site featuring large UAS demonstrations, 10 breakout sessions tailored to aviation professionals’ unique interests, and access to top leaders in the field, UTM Convention 2016 is the only show UTM professionals need this fall.

Like the drone industry itself, the agenda is evolving to meet attendees’ needs.

The programming allows participants to customize their experiences to get the most out of their time in Syracuse. Here is a sampling of what UTM Convention 2016 has to offer:

Flight demonstrations will include the Indago quadcopter and Desert Hawk III fixed wing UAVs and optionally piloted versions of the K-MAX and S-76, both full scale helicopters.
