During the 2021 Summit, we will offer opportunities for attendees to submit a three-minute video for playback during the conference. This is a "non-competitive" pitch program envisioned as informational in nature. The topic is open, but suggestions include local unmanned services, research or implementation challenges, and novel applications. The format for the pitch will be limited to a three minute pre-recorded video. Speaker slots are limited.
