UAS Summit & Expo

  Alerus Center, Grand Forks, ND

The UAS Summit & Expo 2025, taking place October 14–15 at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, is the 19th annual edition of the premier event for unmanned aerial systems. Produced by BBI International in partnership with UAS Magazine, the Summit has grown from a regional gathering into a global hub for drone innovation, cementing Grand Forks as “America’s UAS proving grounds.” This year’s program features keynotes, expert panels, an expansive expo floor, and Pitch Day, where startups present to investors and economic development leaders. Notably, the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) will have a strong presence: David Lee and David Kistin will each be speaking on separate panels, while also exhibiting—Lee at the FLC booth and Kistin at the Sandia booth. Bringing together industry leaders, innovators, investors, and policymakers, the Summit serves as a vital platform to advance collaboration and shape the future of unmanned systems.
