tentatively identified the dates of Aug. 10- 12 for the 2020 event.
Announcement: XPONENTIAL 2020 Postponed Due to COVID-19
Based on currently available information, and with the best interests of
our
members, exhibitors, attendees and the global community in mind, the AUVSI Board of Directors has made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2020.
Recognizing the importance of this event to your organizations, our ecosystem, and partners in Boston, we are working on shifting the dates of XPONENTIAL 2020 to a more suitable time frame and have
We are currently working closely with our convention venue and hotel partners in Boston to identify and secure the required amount and types of function space and requisite number of hotel rooms in the City of Boston to successfully conduct AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2020. Once we have secured the necessary facilities and agreements to do so,
AUVSI staff will work to adjust all existing exhibitor and sponsor agreements, as well as registration policies, to reflect the new dates. Currently, all existing agreements and terms remain in effect in order to make the transition to the new date as seamless and expedient as possible. Please be advised however, that AUVSI’s current
plans to conduct XPONENTIAL 2020 this August may change, given how rapidly the COVID-19 situation is evolving and the question of whether further measures will need to be instituted to stem the spread of COVID-19, since your health, well-being and safety are our top priority.
We will continue to actively assess all potential opportunities to best serve the needs of our community while delivering the world-class event you have come to expect from AUVSI. We will provide updates on our progress as additional information becomes available.
In the interim, we have set up a special email address:
XPO20updates@auvsi.org for inquiries, and will be working to address your questions and concerns as quickly and accurately as possible.
Fire and Rescue Services Equip UAVs with FLARM
An increasing number of fire and rescue departments are strengthening their equipment fleets with FLARM-equipped UAVs. The newest addition to the list is “Schutz und Rettung Zürich” (“Fire and Rescue Zurich”). It now operates two DJI Matrice 210 with a FLARM traffic information and collision avoidance system
from the company Remote Vision. This makes it possible for them to fly close to airports and in restricted areas where drone traffic is otherwise not allowed.
The UAVs are equipped with thermal imaging cameras to be able to assess fire temperatures, find missing persons, and other use cases.
