AUVSI Xponential 2023 Preview!
AUVSI’s Xponential 2023 show, celebrating the event’s 50th year, was held at the Denver Convention Center in Denver, CO, Monday, May 8 – Thursday, May 11. Xpo ‘23 was hosted by The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) in conjunction with Messe Düsseldorf North America (MDNA). This year’s Xpo theme was “Blueprint for Autonomy.” The event featured a broad selection of the latest uncrewed systems technologies, land, air, sea and space, developed by 600+ commercial businesses, academic researchers, entrepreneurs, and military and government agencies. The event also included a host of educational presentations, seminars and workshops. The National Robotics Education Foundation (NREF) will post a comprehensive photo gallery of the event in the near future. The mood at Xponential was upbeat, and exhibitors noted the event provided useful opportunities not only to present their offerings, but also to conduct business and link up with potential industry partners.
