Each year, USI hosts a series of events & programs which promote improvements and foster the adoption of unmanned systems. USI events are designed to support multi-stakeholder organizations who are navigating through current trends, regulatory policies and strategies in an attempt to utilize these systems across all industries. USI programs include a variety of guest speakers and keynotes representing many diverse sectors within the unmanned systems industry. Speakers provide expert advice, practical recommendations and reactions related to the most pressing issues.

In 10 years, the unmanned systems industry is expected to reach nearly $11.5 billion annually and create 70,000 jobs in the United States alone. The ever-growing amount of uses for unmanned systems has made it one of the fastest growing markets in the United States and a major influence on the future of military, private sector and other commercial applications.
