Welcome To The Drone Age! Hear 3D Robotics' CEO Chris Anderson At IGNITION 2014
Flying robots–better known as drones or UAVs
(unmanned aerial vehicle)–range from missile-firing war machines to
insanely nimble mini-quadcopters, video-equipped and piloted by a
smartphone app. In between there’s already everything from hovering
Hollywood cameras to Amazon's future delivery vans.
Chris Anderson quit his job
as WIRED’s editor in chief to go full-time building and selling some of
the world’s coolest drones as co-founder and CEO of Berkeley-based 3D
Robotics. Author of business-book classics The Long Tail, Free, and Makers: The New Industrial Revolution, Chris
knows revolutions when he sees them. And he’s not shy about making
really big predictions: “Just as the 1970s saw the birth and rise of the
personal computer,” he says, “this decade will see the ascendance of the personal drone. We’re entering the Drone Age.”
Anderson is a visionary and fantastic
speaker, so we're thrilled to have him at IGNITION 2014, where we will
take our own "telescopic tour" of the digital horizon.
