CDA BVLOS Stakeholder Summit
A collaborative forum on the FAA's proposed BVLOS approach

Mark your calendars: The Commercial Drone Alliance BVLOS Stakeholder Summit is taking place September 8, in Washington, D.C.
The federal government's proposed BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) rule will define the future of commercial drone operations in the U.S.
If crafted correctly, this rule could unlock America’s global leadership in commercial drones and accelerate innovation in our domestic drone marketplace.
That’s why we’re bringing the drone industry and key stakeholders together to:
• Share reactions, thoughts, and ideas
• Identify areas of consensus & break down barriers
• Develop formal comments for the FAA—together
Time is of the essence - the public comment period is just 60 days.
This is our chance to inform the broader industry’s comment into a united, industry-wide response.
Don’t miss this opportunity to shape what’s next for BVLOS.
This summit is more than a conversation—it’s a strategic step forward for commercial drone policy.
