The panel will reveal ways to identify viable AI products and will make recommendations for a variety of uses. Find out which trendy products are worth pursuing and which ones to leave on the shelf.

Our experts will also share how drones can be invaluable for job sites, as well as the federal regulations and proposed legislation to be aware of when utilizing these remote tools.
