Apart from many speakers and participants from Slovakia, there will be representatives of the private sector, government agencies, education institutions and security experts from all over Europe. 

This year, the event will run in a hybrid mode, allowing participants not only to attend in person, but also to watch an online streaming of the main programme with simultaneous interpretation and a virtual EXPO.

DRONTEX 2024 will offer an attractive two-day programme in form of presentations of top experts on drones and their use in services, industry, and security applications, displays and exposition of drones in the EXPO tent, and an evening banquette with networking. The ambassador of the event is Mr Ivan Bella and the event will be hosted by Ján Mečiar.

The programme of the first day of the conference will be divided into the following sections:

  • Management of UAS operations in the EU
  • Advanced Drone Services
  • Research and Development of UAS Technologies

Representatives of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), European Commission, Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic (ŘLP ČR) and Poland (PANSA) will present the current situation and development of the unmanned aerial operations in the context of new features and the growing number of drones in the airspace. 

They will be followed by presentations of representatives of the private sector which will focus on inspections of underground spaces, high-voltage power lines, or rendering 3D-models using drones, as well as flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), and their utilisation in practical life. 

Scientists from prestigious European universities and scientific teams from Sweden, Denmark and the Czech Republic will present the latest research results on autonomous use of drones.

The second day of the conference will focus on the security challenges related to drones in form of threats from above and the elimination thereof, as well as deployment of drones in building or border protection. The speakers will also deal with the topic of cyber security and autonomous unmanned system designed for special missions, as well as deployment of drones in rescue missions.

Rastislav Sopko, director of the Mám Dron Association, commented, “Drones are the future. They are being used in more and more segments – from industrial applications to services, or in public administration. 

“In the current security situation, they are a tool of warfare, but also an opportunity to eliminate threats. We are glad that the DRONTEX conference is to provide a venue for discussing the topics and an opportunity to share our experience and initiate new cooperations.”
