While the big news from Commercial UAV Expo Europe was centered on the next version of the event taking place as part of Amsterdam Drone Week, there were plenty of other insights, developments and happenings that came out of the event. Many talked about how they witnessed the growth of the drone market at the event, while others we more focused on the technology that was on display there. However, those stories are just part of the story of the event.
Nearly 70 countries were represented at Commercial UAV Expo Europe along with over 100 publications, portals, analysts, associations, user groups and cooperating events. This combination resulted in people from around the world coming together to share public service drone stories, interview experts like Darshan Divakaran of North Carolina Department of Transportation and Marc Kegelaers of Unifly along with a look at the top 7 trends in the drone industry. While there were five specific things that we identified we’d be watching out for at the event, there ended up being far more notable items and takeaways coming out of the Expo.Speakers, attendees and members of the Commercial UAV Expo Europe team live tweeted quotes and pictures throughout the event to give everyone who wasn’t in Amsterdam a sense of the discussions, learning and updates that were explored in there. For plenty more direct quotes, videos and pictures, check out the #expouaveu19 hashtag.As @ExpoUAV Europe 2019 wraps up, my key takeaways;

There is a real shortage of A.I. scientists & data scientists (& they're often paid more than the company CEO). Limiting factor for #drone industry development. Michael Mazur (PwC, Poland) & Michael Thoss (Ethos group, Germany) #expouaveu19 ##Amsterdam pic.twitter.com/K26YztdyfF

How do the costs factor into the creation of U-space? It has to happen at scale. From the U-space panel discussion at @ExpoUAV #expouaveu19 pic.twitter.com/rvvJb29NHc

This mean-looking machine could save your life!

Really good comment from @FionaLakeAus ... "#drones are primilary designed, built and marketed by/to men ... In Australia, many farm accounts are managed by women ... The 'bloke' is all excited about the #tech, the person with the money is not sold on the value ... " #expouaveu19 pic.twitter.com/zloJ5nHc1o

#ExpoUAVEU19 has been a tremendous success so far. We've seen a lot of interest in our AED Zoe which couldn't make us happier. It's one of the most important projects we have ever done and are only at the start of it as well. Day 2 is live right now! pic.twitter.com/i98flaFWSo
