Drones: Changing Lives, Shaping Society

In this session, Jay Merkle, the Executive Director of the FAA’s UAS Integration Office will lead a panel of drone industry innovators to discuss how drones are positively impacting and transforming the lives of Americans. From tackling the jobs that are dull, dirty, or dangerous to delivering everything from food to medical supplies and one day, humans, drones are being used in new and creative ways every day. Panel members will discuss their respective challenges and successes and discuss their vision for the future.
