EDOS — European Drone Operator Summit 2026

About the event

EDOS is a professional congress for drone operators and the wider value chain around them. Its 2026 focus is the safe integration of beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations in urban environments. Key themes include air corridors, U-space, risk classification and social acceptance of these operations.

The programme also addresses on-board technology, embedded AI, unmanned traffic management (UTM), cybersecurity, data processing and scalable business models. The format combines a plenary congress and expo area with round tables, hands-on workshops, masterclasses and individual coaching.

EDOS addresses operators, end clients, regulators, manufacturers, integrators, investors and insurers. Access is by ticket or invitation; a livestream and an on-demand video library are also announced. The summit is scheduled for 16–17 December 2026 at Feria de Valencia – Events Center in Valencia.
