Drones in the Heartland is a day-long learning and
networking conference for professionals and enthusiasts interested
in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology.
The conference will be held on the Heartland Community College
campus at 1500 West Raab Road in Normal, IL from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. on Friday, November 9.
This year’s conference keynote speaker will be Keenan Campbell,
Director of the Bureau of County Emergency Management, who will
present Drones in Emergency Response.
“The Drones in the Heartland conference was created with two goals
in mind,” said Amy Humphreys, Dean of Continuing Education. “To
serve the growing interest both professionals and hobbyists have in
drones, and also to gather insights and future learning
opportunities we can pass along from the College.”

practices, regulations and safety, and innovation.
