Given a widely attended Lunch and Learn in January, we have decided to organize this conference about the usage of drones in geospatial activities. The festivities will involve presentations, tours of the aviation facilities at UMaine Augusta's Brunswick Center (which houses their aviation and UAS programs) and will be followed by "mappy hour" at Flight Deck Brewing Company, a chance to network with geospatial professionals in a more social setting. Please note: Attendance will be limited to 40 due to space limitations.
