STATION DC Drones Open Roundtable

If you’re building, investing in, or contributing to the future of drones and autonomous systems, from advanced UAV platforms to real-world deployment and regulation, come spend part of your day at STATION DC between 10 am and 12 pm.

Agenda:

10 am — 11 am: Private Roundtable Discussion

This event will be hosted by Brett Freedman, a national security and public policy expert with nearly two decades of experience advising leaders on emerging technologies, cybersecurity, privacy, and government affairs.

11 am — 12 pm: Networking

You’ll likely find people working across areas like:

Drone Platforms & Hardware: UAV design, propulsion systems, sensors, payload integration, endurance, and performance optimization

Autonomy & Software: computer vision, AI/ML for navigation, swarm systems, edge computing, flight control software

Manufacturing & Scale: rapid prototyping, advanced materials, modular manufacturing, domestic production

Commercial & Public Applications: logistics and delivery, inspection and mapping, agriculture, public safety, emergency response

Defense & Security: ISR, counter-UAS, secure communications, resilient and deployable systems

Policy & Airspace Strategy: FAA regulation, BVLOS pathways, UTM, public-private partnerships, compliance and safety frameworks

We’ll have coffee, Wi-Fi, plenty of workspace, comfortable seating, conference rooms, and a community of people who are actively pushing the drone ecosystem forward.

Set up to work, meet new people, exchange ideas, or just plug into the drone and autonomy community.

No membership required. Just walk in—and invite your friends.
