Drone Days 2025 has come to a close—and what a ride it was! Three days packed with inspiration, engaging expert presentations, fascinating live demos, and, of course, countless encounters with people who share our passion for unmanned aviation.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, especially our sponsors and supporters, without whom Drone Days 2025 would not have been possible in this form. We’ve put together some highlights and impressions for you here —so you can look back on past Drone Days and build anticipation for this year’s event.

But as we all know, once Drone Days is over, it’s already time to look forward to the next one:
We’re already excited to announce Drone Days 2026! Look forward to an even more diverse program and exciting new formats. Drone Days 2026 will take off again from August 26, 2026, to August 28, 2026. As in previous years, we are excited to bring together the various stakeholders and perspectives of unmanned aviation this year as well—because true progress is based on exchange and networking.

We would like to once again extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and friends for this wonderful event, and we look forward to seeing you again on August 26–28, 2026.

“Many happy landings”
