InterDrone: DIY Drones Founder and 3D Robotics CEO to Deliver Keynote Address
BZ Media LLC announced today that Chris Anderson, New York Times best-selling author, CEO of 3D Robotics, and founder of DIY Drones will deliver a keynote address at InterDrone, being held September 9, 10, 11 at The Rio in Las Vegas. Andersons keynote is scheduled for the morning of September 10. 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.
Anderson is author of the New York Times bestselling books "The Long Tail" and "Free" and also published "Makers: The New Industrial Revolution. He was also Editor-in-Chief of Wired Magazine and wrote for The Economist.
"This is an incredible time to be all-in on Drones, as weve only scratched the service of what this amazing technology can do. This is the first minute of the day for this industry, and that were just starting to see what happens once we take complexity out of the equation. Thats what youll see reflected at InterDrone, and I am excited to be delivering a keynote address at the show," said Anderson.
InterDrone, a 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.
More than 70 media partners on five continents have already signed on to support and help grow InterDrone, including AUVSI, Frost & Sullivan, RotorDrone, Unmanned Magazine, Geo Connexion, Inside Unmanned Systems, Chip Design, GIS Cafe, Electronic Products, Unmanned Aerial Online, DroneBlog, Embedded Developer, Linux Journal, RTC Magazine, Unmanned Tech Solutions, GeoConnexion, and China Tech News.
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. The exposition will also include a drone demonstration area, the Yes Fly Zone.
Registration for the event—strictly for trade and commercial drone builders, buyers and flyers—is now open at www.InterDrone.com. The Call for Speakers 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.
