Portland, Maine October 05, 2015 -- Commercial UAV Expo opens today at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The expo and conference will have 120 exhibitors, more than any commercial drone show in the market.

The event runs through Wednesday, October 7.

"The response to Commercial UAV Expo has been incredible," said Lisa Murray, Commercial UAV Expo Director. "Large-enterprise asset owners integrating or expanding their drone programs have very specific needs for education and solutions. They are thrilled that our Conference Program was developed with them in mind, and that exhibitors have the products and services to meet their specific requirements."

Each of the seven industries Commercial UAV Expo covers has a dedicated track. The program also has plenary sessions that address important issues that transcend industry, like systems selection and integration, applications, workflows, data management, insurance, safety, and legal and regulatory considerations. Keynotes will be delivered by Dyan Gibbens, CEO and Founder of Trumbull Unmanned, whose presentation is entitled "UAVs: A vision for Global Asset Owners," and Dr. Patrick Meier, Founder of the Humanitarian UAV Network, whose presentation is "Humanitarian in the Sky: Drones for Disaster Response."
