Benefits of Sponsoring “ We identified EDRC last year as being a ‘Must Go’.

We knew that having a large invest-

ment in the Energy Drone & Robotics

Coalition channels to energy asset

owners and drone operators would

pay dividends, and we were right! We

will be back next year with an even

larger investment. We have already

sold two drones from leads at this

show and met with clients that will

completely Increase sales for Saxon as

a company. Energy Drone & Robotics

Coalition must receive credit as credit

is due. We will see you next year, and

many more to come. This show blows

other drone events out of the water.”

— John Ferguson, CEO, Saxon Remote Systems

they are scaling their enterprise program and what were the lessons as

they did it… We think that there is a great application for drones and

robotics for all of the energy industry, and we want to help move it

forward.” — Landon Phillips, Co-Founder & COO, Datawing Global
