Main Stage
2–3 June | Main Stage
The Main Stage is at the heart of the IDS conference programme, bringing together experts, decision-makers and industry voices to address the key developments, challenges and opportunities shaping drones and unmanned systems.
Across both days, the programme is organised around three conference themes, explored through keynotes, presentations and discussions.
Three Conference Themes
The Main Stage programme is built around three conference themes, bringing together operational experience, new perspectives and concrete insights from across the drone and unmanned systems ecosystem.
