UNCREWED UPDATE from AUVSI


Level Up Your Impact at XPONENTIAL 2025


As autonomous technology expands into every sector, it becomes more important to understand what’s changed — and what’s on the horizon.


In the vertical-lift industry, regulations,


technology, and standards are becoming more complex by the day. As the technology event for autonomy, Xponential delivers all the intel you need to understand and navigate the future.


Xponential is for professionals who design, procure, and operate autonomous and uncrewed technology in diverse fields including advanced aviation, emergency response, and public safety. They gather to exchange ideas and use cases, showcase the latest inventions, and discuss the future of aviation and transportation.


From May 19 to May 22, we invite you to join us at Xponential 2025 in Houston, Texas. This year’s event will feature keynotes, collaborative workshops, and breakout sessions revolving around mission-critical topics including:


• Changes in technology, policy, safety, and society


• •


Operational ecosystems Uncrewed systems security


• Technical components, materials, and propulsion


Whether you’re a technologist, business leader, or end user in the VTOL industry, this is your chance to level up your career with cutting-edge insights and research. Engage in discussions about commercial drone applications, delve into strategies for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS)


operations, or learn about best practices for public safety missions.


When you’re ready to see technology in action, head to the XPO Hall, a dynamic trade show featuring hundreds of exhibits from autonomous tech innovators. Past attendees include trailblazers in VTOL and multi-rotor technology including:


• ACSL • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
