World Digital Sky Summit will take place during IAM Madrid from 24th till 26th September 2024 promoted by Expodrónica. A high level conference, modern and integrative summit looking to connect most related stakeholders, from governmental agencies to industrial organizations and professionals actively involved in developing solutions and promoted the industry from above. With top-level participants from industry and beyond, the major European decision-making forum for Innovative Air Mobility.

Why?

This promising and evolving market is about to emerge, driven by automation, important applications and increasing relevance to environmental sustainability. But for it to become a reality we need to bring together all the parties that are able to drive this new mobility. From industry, organisations and administrations to civil- military collaboration. All gathered around the same table to discuss the great challenges ahead and to move the whole ecosystem forward at the same time.

IAM Madrid will bring together all the relevant actors involved in the development of this new mobility ecosystem in a unique global meeting point, where they will be able to connect and share information to put together all the necessary building blocks for this exciting future mobility.
