From Cities to Stadiums: Managing Public Safety UAS at Major Events

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 @ 10 AM PST | 1 PM EST | 6 PM BST | Free Webinar

Public safety agencies around the world are increasingly relying on UAS to support security, situational awareness, and emergency response at large-scale events. From the Super Bowl and World Cup to the Olympics, these programs are set to be tested over the next couple of years across the U.S. in complex, high-visibility environments where operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and public trust all matter. This panel webinar brings together industry experts to discuss how public safety UAS programs are evolving to meet these demands.

The conversation will explore how emerging capabilities such as AI-enabled analytics and expanded BVLOS operations are changing what’s possible, while also examining the regulatory landscape shaping deployment decisions, including rules around BVLOS approvals and foreign-manufactured drones. Panelists will also address public perception and transparency, and how agencies are communicating the value and safeguards of UAS programs to the communities they serve.

Attendees will take away:

  • A clear view of how public safety UAS programs are being designed and scaled for major, high-profile events
  • Practical insights into the impact of AI, BVLOS, and regulatory developments on real-world operations
  • Lessons learned on public communication, trust, and policy considerations surrounding UAS use in public safety
