Drone Space has announced its upcoming conference focused on the intersection of AI, Drone Technology, and Data Analytics.
Slated to take place on March 26 and 27, the event will bring together innovators, professionals, enthusiasts, and industry leaders from the region to showcase the latest advancements and trends.
As the demand for cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, drone technology, and data analytics continues to grow, this conference aims to provide a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration among stakeholders to streamline its application and address existing gaps in access and training.
The two-day conference will also include panel discussions for industry experts and stakeholders to explore the need and modalities to develop comprehensive AI and drone technology policies and frameworks to ensure responsible innovations and to promote equitable access to their benefits for all communities in the region.
“This conference promises to be a transformative experience. It will bring together experts and innovators from the realms of artificial intelligence, drone technology, and data analytics from across the region. Attendees can expect two days of insightful discussions, hands-on workshops, and exclusive networking opportunities, all aimed at shaping the future of these dynamic industries of AI, Drone Tech, and Data Analytics,” said Drone Space Director Tony Mwangi.
The conference comes at a time when many sectors of the economy are increasingly adopting and integrating artificial intelligence in to their operations to bolster efficiency and maximize their performance.
