ABU DHABI, Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, the Unmanned Systems Exhibition (UMEX) and the Simulation Training (SimTEX) Conference is set to kick off tomorrow morning, bringing together elite experts and specialists from around the world to the ADNOC Business Centre physically and virtually.
The conference will convene some of the top experts, decision-makers, academia and government officials, from the unmanned systems sector and will discuss four main topics. “Understanding the Changing Unmanned Landscape; Facilitating Trust and Understanding: Human-Machine Teaming and Decision-Making in the Unmanned Age; Optimising Innovation: Overcoming Adoption and Integration Challenges; and Unmanned Systems and the 4IR: How Technology is Shaping Future Capabilities.”
The event will see large-scale international participation, as it will feature 22 speakers and will host 500 participants who will be present in person at the ADNOC Business Centre, while around 1,500 people are expected to attend the conference virtually.
