Nearly 200 people attended the Second Annual Cape May Unmanned Aircraft Systems Conference Oct. 13 and 14. Attendees heard from top federal legislative and regulatory officials, industry and academic experts.

Hosted by the Delaware River and Bay Authority, Cape May County and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Liberty Chapter, the conference is product of the growing collaboration between industry, academic and government partners in New Jersey to promote unmanned aircraft systems innovation and integration at Cape May County Airport.

Highlights included a drone race expo on the beach, a presentation on drone cinematograph and a behind-the-scenes look at the Hughes Tech Center. Next year’s conference is tentatively set for Wednesday-Friday, Oct. 18-20.
