"This is an incredible time to be all-in on Drones, as weve only scratched the service of what this amazing technology can do. This is the first minute of the day for this industry, and that were just starting to see what happens once we take complexity out of the equation. Thats what youll see reflected at InterDrone, and I am excited to be delivering a keynote address at the show," said Anderson.

InterDrone, a three-day event, features a two-day technical conference for drone-building engineers and software developers, and an overlapping two-day conference for the buyers and flyers of commercial drones, with more than 70 classes, panels and keynotes in all.
