Vertical lift technology is advancing rapidly, transforming everything from commercial logistics to emergency response. As the skies fill with drones and other advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft, regulations and safety standards must keep pace. The Drone and AAM Policy Symposium, presented by AUVSI, is your opportunity to prepare for—and even design—the industry's future.
The Drone and AAM Policy Symposium connects pilots, platform developers, and service providers with the regulators who manage drone integration in the national airspace.
Set your course for Washington, DC, this July 29–30. We’re gathering at Nationals Park, a legendary ballpark in the nation’s capital, to discuss our community's most pressing policy issues.
Critical Conversations, Measurable Outcomes
Uncertainty holds your business back. At the symposium, you’ll learn, train, and troubleshoot with the entire AAM ecosystem to ensure your operations remain safe and scalable. The program includes key issues that impact vertical-lift technology, including:
-
Integration strategies for drone and AAM operations into the National Airspace System
-
New developments in BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) implementation
-
Infrastructure challenges and opportunities for eVTOL and drone deployment
-
Industry compliance and certifications for autonomous technology
The Symposium experience was designed in collaboration with experts in drone and AAM regulations, including the following steering committee members:
-
Amanda Armistead - senior public policy manager, Amazon
-
Leslie Barnes - senior director, government affairs, Qualcomm
-
Allie Cloyes - government affairs, Beta
-
Anna Dietrich - EVTOL, autonomy, and GA leadership, ASTM International
-
John Forristal - government affairs, Archer Aviation
-
Kristin Mineck - lead for UAS/RPAS standards development and regulatory coordination, Viasat
-
Suzanne Murtha - vice president, global advanced mobility, payment systems and automation, AECOM
-
Scott O'Brien - vice president, legislative affairs, Reliable Robotics
