InterDrone

Interdrone is a term used to describe a major annual trade show and conference for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). It is often stylized as InterDrone. The event focuses on drones and related technologies, and also is used in some contexts to refer to the broader concept of interoperability between drone platforms, data ecosystems, and coordinated operations.

The InterDrone conference and exposition brings together manufacturers, system integrators, operators, service providers, researchers, and regulators. The program typically includes an expo hall with product demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and educational tracks covering topics such as aviation safety, regulatory compliance, airspace integration, data processing, mapping and surveying, photography and cinematography, analytics, and cybersecurity.

History and organization: The event emerged during the mid-2010s as the commercial drone market expanded. It is organized by a specialized event company and industry media group and is typically held in the United States, frequently in Las Vegas. It serves as a venue for product launches and industry announcements, as well as networking and knowledge sharing.

Impact and scope: InterDrone is considered one of the leading gatherings for the UAS industry, facilitating business development, collaborations, and the exchange of best practices. It also reflects broader regulatory and market developments in drones, including privacy, safety, and airspace policy.
