Sign up to join the UK virtual pavilion at the World Of Drones And Robotics Congress 2020
The UK's Department for International Trade is delighted to invite you to exhibit at the World Of Drones And Robotics Congress (WODARC), Brisbane, Australia on the 12th-13th November 2020.
We currently have 8 spaces available for highly innovative UK businesses in the drone and drone applications, defence, robotics, aviation, AI and technology sectors to join us at the largest and leading drone applications event in the Australian-Pacific region, WODARC. The congress is supported by the State Government of Queensland, Australia's defence forces and the aviation safety agency.
This is a great opportunity to reach commercial and government users and consumers of drone and robotics and their applications throughout Australia and across the Pacific.
About the Exhibition:
WODARC brings together approximately 700 to 1000 delegates annually from the drone, robotics, autonomous systems, defence, application development, AI, government, academic, emergency services and industry sectors.
In 2020 WODARC will be presented as a Hybrid event, providing in-person and virtual participation options for exhibitors, delegates and presenters. The physical congress and exhibition will be held in accordance with prevailing COVID-safe guidelines with virtual delegate and exhibition participation offered to anyone who cannot travel to Brisbane.
WODARC traditionally features an exhibition of suppliers of drones, drone applications and operators of drone services. This year the exhibition has been extended to include robotics. Physical displays by the Australian Army, Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Queensland Robotics Cluster will be a centrepiece of the exhibition. Exhibitors include Australian and international suppliers. All physical exhibitors will also be assigned a virtual exhibition package.
The congress programme features prominent Australian and international speakers. The speakers list can be viewed at the official congress website.
