Ready to fly?
Join us for the WRAL TechWire Executive Exchange on Tuesday, January 26, from 4-7 p.m. at the PNC Triangle Club at Durham Bulls Athletic Park to learn about the business and opportunities presented by drones along with legal issues and demonstrations of the latest technology.
As The Associated Press reported last week, drones are becoming big business; they are not a fad.
Bob Young, the veteran entrepreneur, co-founder of Red Hat and current CEO of drone startup PrecisionHawk in Raleigh, will provide the keynote. Young will discuss the company’s cutting-edge technology, why he sees the company as the “Red Hat of the drone industry,” and why entrepreneurs, companies such as Amazon, consumers and investors have made drones one of the hyped technologies today.
