Meet the First Voices and Brands Joining International Drone Show 2026

First Speakers Confirmed

The conference program for IDS 2026 is taking shape — and we’re excited to announce our first confirmed speakers.

They represent a dynamic mix of innovation, research, and leadership from across the drone industry and beyond.

Expect insights on the evolution of drone warfare, the integration of uncrewed systems across land, sea, and air, urban airspace management, and the technologies enabling safer, smarter autonomous operations.

From the Ukrainian experience in modern defence to Berlin’s U-Space testbed and offshore resilience, this first lineup reflects the diversity and depth of what’s to come at IDS 2026.
