This Week in Drones: What Is the “New Normal” for the Drone Industry?

Over the past several weeks, Commercial UAV News has reported on various aspects of the COVID-19 global pandemic and how it is impacting the industry in both positive and challenging ways. On Tuesday, April 28th from 11AM to 12PM Eastern, we'll be hosting a free webinar, "How Will COVID-19 Impact the Present and Future of the Drone Industry?" featuring a panel of industry insiders to give us their unique perspectives on a variety of topics and concerns that have come about as a result of the pandemic. Although we are unable right now to come together as an industry to discuss these challenges, this will be a great opportunity for all of us to join in a discussion about the pressing topics that are impacting the drone ecosystem. These conversations will be important to help us get our industry up and moving again when this is all over. Our panelists are no strangers to our Commercial UAV News editorial team, so to help you get acquainted with them, here is a list of some selected articles we have collaborated on in the past.
