Welcome
Public safety drone operators and program managers are coming together for the inaugural Versaterm DroneSense Users Conference at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. It will be multiple days of learning and collaboration focused on advancing drone operations. Whether your agency is exploring its first drone purchase, operating a small fleet or managing a full-scale Drone as First Responder program, this event offers something for every stage.
​
The conference will feature hands-on training and deep dives into DroneSense by Versaterm capabilities including dedicated flying time. This training will be held alongside peer-led sessions where operators share real-world experiences. It will also have plenaries and topical sessions to inspire and discuss current industry challenges like BVLOS operations and regulatory compliance.
More than just training, it's an opportunity to engage directly with experts and fellow operators for sharing feedback and building relationships with peers who understand the operational challenges you face. Join us this April to strengthen your agency's drone operations.
