How Drone Service Providers Can Keep Up with a Changing Industry

In many ways, drone service providers are the backbone of the commercial UAV industry. Whether they are offering their drone expertise and equipment for mapping and surveying, inspections, package delivery, mining, or farming, drone service providers are the ones who deliver on the promise of uncrewed technology every day.

Despite the importance of their role, service providers face many challenges. Changing technology, shifts in the workforce, financial pressures, and uncertainty around regulations make it difficult for many drone service providers to stay stable and profitable or to plan for the future.

This webinar will help drone service providers better understand the challenges they face, and it will give them critical information that they can use to make sound choices about their businesses. Leading drone service providers will draw on their experiences to offer advice on choosing technology, training staff, working with local and federal agencies, and much more.

Topics include:

• Maintaining and growing your business: What are the best opportunities for drone service providers? What industries are best positioned to adopt uncrewed systems?
• From Part 108 to a possible foreign-made drone ban and beyond: How to stay on top of local, state, and federal regulations and how to plan for an uncertain future.
• The future workforce: Do you have the skills you need to stay viable as technology evolves and customer needs change? Who will make up the uncrewed workforce of tomorrow?
