About this conference
The DRONERESPONDERS National Public Safety UAS Conference (NACON) is the nation's premier, longest-running public safety UAS conference, which is moving to a new location closer to D.C. for 2027. This conference will feature content for policymakers, regulators, and program leaders, and is expected to be the largest gathering of public safety drone leaders globally. NACON 2027 will offer an updated educational program focused on public safety UAS policymaking, regulations, strategy, and program management. The new venue facilitates increased participation from Federal regulators and stakeholders and provides additional space for targeted breakout conversations on key topics such as UAS program management, Counter-UAS operations, Drone as a First Responder (DFR), and advanced air mobility (AAM). The program aims to provide training, data-driven insights, operational best practices, and collaboration opportunities for first responders implementing drone technology in emergency response, law enforcement, fire service, search and rescue, and disaster operations.
Sponsorship options
DRONERESPONDERS invites industry partners and public safety thought leaders to help shape the 2027 program. Over 100 exhibit opportunities are available for companies showcasing UAS, Counter-UAS, sensor, software, training, and public safety technology solutions. Organizations can choose from a range of sponsorship levels to align their brand with the public safety UAS community's flagship national event, supporting the conference, receptions, and DRONERESPONDERS’ year-round training and advocacy work. A call for session proposals is open to agency leaders, program managers, regulators, researchers, and industry innovators with real-world lessons in program development, DFR, Counter-UAS, Advanced Air Mobility, and public safety airspace integration. Early engagement is encouraged as space is expected to fill quickly.
