National Drone Show Seions Announced

ARLINGTON, VA.-The 2015 National Drone Show, featuring Unmanned Aerial Vehicle video-capture technology, to be held Dec. 2-3, 2015 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Co-located with NewBay Media's Government Video Expo, the National Drone Show will bring thousands of video professionals together for two days of discussions and demos of the latest UAV video capture, management and delivery technologies and techniques.
