August 20, 2015 (Portland, Maine, USA) ” The exhibit floor for the 2015 Commercial UAV Expo completely sold out almost two months before the show's launch, spurring event organizer SPAR Point Group to add space to handle the overwhelming demand. UAS companies have thrown their support behind Commercial UAV Expo, said Lisa Murray, Commercial UAV Expo Director. Many of them know us from exhibiting at other events we organize in the geospatial arena and are confident in our ability to deliver qualified asset owners and a strong return on investment.
With the addition of a new hall, more than 100 airframe manufacturers, component and sensor suppliers, software providers and service companies from more than a dozen countries will be exhibiting at the inaugural event taking place October 5-7, 2015 in Las Vegas.

Asset owners/operators in key growth industries will find a vast array of UAV solutions on the exhibit floor to qualify and compare, said Ms. Murray. There's tremendous interest in UAV technology among commercial users because of its ability to collect critical data in a way that's faster, safer, and more accurate than many other methods, she said. Data is the lifeblood of so many industries and drone technology provides the opportunity to increase the volume, speed and accuracy for collecting and analyzing data.
