Did you miss out on our recently completed 2024 Summer Symposium? With 98 attendees in the imagery space, includingutilities of all sizes, the group had a day and a half full of compelling and robust content.

As stated by Vladyslav Anderson, PE of Exelon, “Attending the UIIC conference in Richmond was a great way to share what Exelon is doing in this space and also get up to speed with the latest developments in remote sensing technology and artificial intelligence. The conversations with the vendor partners and our industry peers along with the presentations offered practical suggestions on how Exelon can take advantage of these developments going forward for visual asset inspection, damage assessment, and other use cases.”

We are happy to share a full recap for those who were unable to attend or would like a refresher on what was presented.

With just over six weeks until our 3rd Annual Summer Symposium in Richmond, VA, the final tweaks to our sessions are being made. One of our Day 2 sessions is being led by Junhui Zhao, Data Science & AI for Electric Utilities/Renewable Energy Resources/PhD/MBA at Eversource CT.

In this session, titled "Best Practices in Damage Assessment", Junhui will be diving into how data can be captured quickly, processed and quickly made available to various decision makers. UAS collection is one method, but are utilities performing image-based damage assessment of larger geographies? This question and more will be addressed as we Explore I&I in Action.

Kicking off our 2024 Summit, in conjunction with the industry leaders at DISTRIBUTECH International in Orlando, Florida, is our Keynote Speaker, Amelia Rose Earhart, a single-engine aircraft pilot who flew around the world and is President of Fly With Amelia Foundation. As a boundary-pushing around the world pilot, Amelia Rose Earhart knows exactly what it takes to venture into uncharted territory - with confidence.

With the odds stacked against her, Amelia not only trained to become a pilot, but to become the type of pilot to honor the person she was named after, Amelia Mary Earhart, by piloting a single-engine airplane (Pilatus PC-12NG) 28,000 Nautical Miles around the globe. To accomplish this, Amelia developed a flight plan all her own, all while reporting full-time as on air, TV helicopter reporter. She completed private, instrument and commercial pilot training, crafted an entrepreneurial and strategic business plan to design, fund and market her around the world attempt, raised close to $2 million in partnerships with 28 corporations, and lastly, founded and ran the Fly With Amelia Foundation, which sent numerous teenage girls to flight school, and more.

You will not want to miss her amazing story as she relates the challenges she faced on her journey to those we face daily in the imagery and inspection space!

Last week, we successfully held our 2022 Summer Symposium in Fort Worth, TX. With attendees from Australia, Canada and US, a truly global team engaged in the challenges and opportunities facing the utility asset and vegetation management field. With highlights including a live drone demo, an evening event at the stockyards and a full day of industry focused sessions, new network of colleagues in the Imagery & Inspection space who are focused on advancing the industry at an accelerated pace.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors Aethon Aerial, L3Harris Technologies, and HCL Technologies who made this event possible. Finally, thanks to our host utility, Oncor, who welcomed us to Fort Worth, provided us with facilities, thought leadership, and reiterated their position as a leader in the North American Utility market.

You will not want to miss our next event being held January 2023 in Phoenix, AZ. Our Keynote Speaker, Jordan Evans from NASA will share his experiences with the Mars Rover and how that correlates to what utility professionals are facing in the I&I field.
