The year the conversation became enterprise-grade.

NestGen ’24 brought together solution providers, dock makers, regulators, software providers and the enterprises flying drones, across six tracks: data security, evolving regulations, BVLOS tech enablers, dock showcases, drone-in-a-box deployments and apps.

An advisory board of industry veterans from Hover UAV, Volatus Aerospace, FEDS and DRONERESPONDERS shaped the agenda. DroneDeploy joined the line-up, DJI Enterprise was the title sponsor, and the first NestGen Awards were given.
