With the formalization of the most important regulation for the  US drone industry and an increasing number of professionals worldwide using drones and photogrammetry in their business, there is a greater need for training on how to maximize drone investment.

“Demand in Pix4D’s technology is growing and we chose to have our first new users’ workshop at InterDrone, one of the largest of the commercial drone shows,” said Antoine Martin, North America Business Manager at Pix4D.

The half-day session runs from 1:00pm-5:30pm and costs $295, which includes a $100-value pass to the Exhibit Hall, Film Festival and keynotes at InterDrone. The workshop can also include a 30-day license of Pix4Dmapper Pro (valued at $350), for a total cost of workshop seat with license for $445.
