InterDrone is the leading conference and exposition for the drone industry in North America, hosted at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV from September 5-7, 2018. The 3-day conference attracts drone service providers, engineers, developers, end-users and manufacturers from all over the world to discuss trends and developments in the commercial drone space.
Dronecode, serving as the vendor-neutral home for open source drone software projects PX4, MAVLink, QGroundControl, and the Dronecode SDK, aims to showcase our growing ecosystem and community, by providing unique educational content for InterDrone attendees on how we foster open collaboration among industry leaders, developers, end-users, and vendors.

At the Conference
On Sept 6 morning, we will be hosting a special panel discussion with technical leaders from NXP, Auterion, Airlango, and AirMap to discuss:
- How companies in the ecosystem work together to cover all the knowledge gaps instead of one company having to hire all the expertise.
- How chip vendors, software service providers, sensor technology companies gain access to drone market by working with the Dronecode community.
- How the consortium operates to set technical directions with open standards.
- How member companies benefit from this collaborative ecosystem and minimize transactions costs with integrations.
On Sept 6 afternoon, we invited senior engineers and business executive speakers from our ecosystem to give a class on how to leverage open source drone technologies. They will bring practical advice and real-world examples to provide attendees useful takeaways from a product development perspective and business value creation standpoint.
