Quiet Drones 2020
October 19-21, 2020
Paris, France
An e-Symposium on Noise of UAV and UAS
Well, quiet Drones 2020 has now finished and we think we can safely say it was a huge success. Some say there is nothing like a physical symposium but QD was just as successful even though the format was different.
What people said about Quiet Drones
Marion Burgess, Past President of International INCE, said of it “I would say that it is the first e-symposium or e-conference where I consider that I have actually ‘met’, and so may communicate with in the future, some that I did not know of before”.
Other comments were that
- “the web site was very clear and I used it a lot”
- “extremely interesting symposium. It was a complete success”
- “There were many great conversations over the days”.
