New Dates Announced for BZ Media's InterDrone, the International Drone Conference and Exposition
Registration now open for Las Vegas event focused on boomingcommercial drone market
MELVILLE, N.Y January 22, 2015
BZ Media LLC today announced new dates for InterDrone , the International Drone Conference and Exposition to be held in Las Vegas, NV. The event, which will be the largest commercial drone expo in North America, will be held September 9-10-11 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. More than 3,000 drone builders, flyers and buyers are expected to attend the largest annual event bringing together all the key participants in the growing market for commercial drone aircraft.
The three-day event features a two-day technical conference for drone-building engineers and software developers, and an overlapping two-day conference for the buyers and flyers of commercial drones, with more than 70 classes, panels and keynotes in all. There will also be an exposition with 80+ exhibitors expected to display their latest products and technology.
"Interest in InterDrone is unlike any show I have ever produced, with several calls per day from interested parties. Shifting our dates forward allowed us to add space to our existing contract. Were working night and day building this event," said Ted Bahr, President & CEO of BZ Media.
BZ Media also announced that InterDrone is producing Drone TechCon, a two-day seminar held during AUVSIs massive Unmanned Systems 2015 show on May 5-7, 2015 in Atlanta. "AUVSI recognized that with our background in producing high-quality conferences and our deep ties into technical markets that we would be a perfect partner to produce a related seminar on the technology behind building commercial drones," noted Bahr.
More than 35 media partners across three continents have already signed on to support and help grow InterDrone, including RotorDrone, Unmanned Magazine, GIS Cafe, Electronic Products, Unmanned Aerial Online, Embedded Developer, Linux Pro, RTC Magazine, Unmanned Tech Solutions, GeoConnexion, and ChinaTechNews.com.
BZ Media produces the worlds largest Android developer conferences; Wearables TechCon, the largest conference and expo for the builders, designers and developers of wearable computing technology; the largest independent SharePoint conferences; and Big Data TechCon, the how-to technical conference for IT professionals implementing Big Data. BZ Media also publishes SD Times, the leading magazine for the software development industry. Bahr previously founded the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in 1989, which covers much of the underlying technology used in drones.
Drone is the familiar name for what are alternately called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned air vehicles (UAV), or Unmanned Systems. The work of peaceful commercial drones is surprising people with the dozens and dozens of practical uses being written about nearly every day in the press. While the defense market for drones dwarfs commercial spending today, a BI Intelligence analyst report expects nearly $12 billion to be spent on commercial drones over the next decade, with growth ramping up quickly.
The exposition will allow manufacturers of drones to both source products from OEM exhibitors, as well as meet and sell to professional commercial drone buyers in the agriculture, journalism, film, search-and-rescue, and real estate industries, among others. "This will be a one-stop and a must-attend event for builders, buyers and flyers of commercial drones," said Bahr. The exposition will also include a drone demonstration area, the Yes Fly Zone, in the exhibit hall.
Registration for the event—strictly for trade and commercial drone builders, buyers and flyers—is now open at http://www.InterDrone.com. The Call for Speakers has opened and will close on May 15.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
