Westminster eForum: The future for UK drones policy - regulation, innovation and commercial application

THIS EVENT IS CPD CERTIFIED

This timely seminar will consider the future for the usage, regulation and commercialisation of drones in the UK.

It takes place following the Government’s announcement that it will seek to bring forward a draft Drone Bill in the summer of this year and that new laws governing drone usage will come into force in July - seeking to ensure safety whilst also setting out aspirations to put the UK at the forefront of drone technology development.

In the context of further initiatives, including Project Chatham and the government-funded Flying High Challenge, which will support cities in the development of drone technology that can transform critical services, delegates will discuss next steps for promoting the development of the UK drone industry - including infrastructure, innovation, insurance and commercial applications.

Following the publication of the European Aviation Safety Agency's proposed regulatory framework for drones, planned sessions will consider regulatory and safety priorities, including geofencing, licensing and cyber security.
