Smoothest event I’ve attended. Very well planned and executed. The (IDGA) team was highly professional, on point, and amazing.

Off the charts valuable. Specifically in networking. Accomplishing the recommendations of the Domestic C-sUAS National Action Plan requires dialogue from agencies that often are not usually in the same room. This event allows for thoughts and ideas to be shared which then are brought to disparate locations and socialized. Sometimes that process can assist in speeding up the bureaucracy that stymies innovation.

In all honesty I wouldn't be able to express how valuable this knowledge and information is and would also not want to put a price on it. I am from a UAS operator background and having a good understanding of the CUAS issues and also capabilities helps me to inform other from both a CUAS and Counter CUAS perspective.

The event was highly valuable as it exposed me to the breadth of the C-UAS mission, as well as the challenges, gaps and opportunities associated with this mission. I also enjoyed the fact that the presenters are highly dedicated professionals, who care deeply and want to make a positive difference in protecting the homeland.
