Partners for drone show are announced

The key sponsors for the highly anticipated event have been revealed as Panasonic, leaders in electronic technology and photography with the Lumix brand of cameras and the UK’s number one UAV training company The Resource Group. Panasonic will provide large television screens for the drone racing feature, while staff from The Resource Group will be in attendance at The Drone Show to give expert industry advice to visitors and exhibitors.

Oliver O’Brien, Project Manager, UK Drone Show, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with such highly esteemed businesses for our debut show. These global names will support many different aspects of the event and it’s great to have them on board. We’re really happy that so many large companies have recognised the growth and the potential in the UAV sector.”

As the first industry event of its kind, The UK Drone Show is expecting a huge influx of visitors, including aviation professionals and businesses looking to explore opportunities for expansion into the industry. In addition to hundreds of exhibitors and software suppliers, the event will feature specialist guest speakers, product demonstrations, career prospects and will also present DroneGP Live, a drone racing and agility championship.

Barnaby Sykes, Head of Imaging, Panasonic UK, said: “We’re really excited to be a main sponsor of the UK Drone Show 2015. The drone industry has really changed in the last 12 months and aerial video recording has become a huge part of that. We're the first camera manufacturer to have unlimited 4K recording with the GH4R, which has opened up the drone industry to pro AV fans and movie makers alike. We've also partnered with Jessop's for the show, giving customers the chance to purchase Lumix G products with added incentives only available at the show.”
