Colorado-based P3 Tech Consulting LLC , in alliance with AUVSI for its second annual
Law-Tech Connect™ Workshop at this year’s XPONENTIAL , has significantly expanded
its Scholars Program for the Workshop. The Scholars Program enables students,
faculty, nonprofit leaders and select industry members to attend the event, receive a
drone law text book and 3-day XPO Hall pass for free…and there are a few
scholarships still available!
The May 8th Workshop in Denver offers a world-class comprehensive overview and
updates on multi-domain uncrewed and autonomous systems law, regulations and
policy. It also qualifies as continuing legal education (CLE) for attorneys.
In 2022, Carahsoft , The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider ® supported twelve
faculty members and students from diverse backgrounds with a common interest in
uncrewed systems. The University of North Dakota and Easy Aerial provided additional
Scholar Support, in the form of travel and lodging for several scholarship recipients.
This year, Carahsoft is joined by several other companies who have signed on to fund
their own Scholars Programs including DroneUp , Titan Aviation , MatrixSpace and
Green Traurig LLP . UND and Easy Aerial are again supporting their scholars, as is
Oklahoma State University.
Event organizer and P3 Tech CEO, Dawn Zoldi (Colonel, USAF Retired) authored the
drone law textbook for the Unmanned Safety Institute that will be provided to
scholarship recipients and otherwise available for purchase at cost to Workshop
attendees. She has deep roots in academia including as a Deputy Director (character &
leadership) and Associate Professor of Law at the U.S. Air Force Academy and Adjunct
Professor at both Colorado State University-Pueblo and Embry Riddle Aeronautical
University’s Worldwide Campus. Enabling students and faculty to attend this world-class educational event was consistent with her own personal and her company’s core value of industry education and advocacy.
Zoldi said, “I’m so grateful to work with all of these generous organizations on this
important Scholars Program. Together, we aim to help educate and inspire the informed
autonomous leaders this industry needs. The future starts here and now. We thank
Carahsoft, DroneUp MatrixSpace, Titan Aviation and Green Traurig for helping to make
that happen.”
This year’s Workshop boasts an unparalleled speaker line up from government,
commercial industry and academia. Its agenda covers a broad range of topics ranging
from drone and AAM law/regulation updates, public-private partnership funding
opportunities, the law of the air and sea, intellectual property, commercial drones on the
battlefield, counter-UAS to privacy law.
