The 8th annual Unmanned Systems Academic Summit will include invited experts providing engaging presentations related to their work in unmanned systems research and development, education and training, commercialization, and technology transfer.

This year's proceedings will again occur online, with registered attendees gaining access to the live event for opportunities to ask questions of the speakers following each presentation. Additionally, the event will be recorded to provide the conference proceedings to both those that attended the live event and to anyone that may register following the Summit, but who still wish to access the content.

Because the event is virtual in 2022, each registration will include a voucher for a free Introduction to UAS Simulation and Flying lab experience, a $30 value. Summit attendees may choose to use their voucher themselves, give it away, or donate it for use by a high school student from the Dayton, Ohio region. All vouchers will expire by June 30, 2023 if not redeemed.



Registration Fee: $30/person
