Our move to virtual has granted AirWorks a more global reach than ever before, not only in terms of attendees but also in terms of speakers. We’ve put together an international lineup of experts who will share their knowledge, experience, and insight across a vast scope of topics, encompassing all facets of the commercial drone industry. ### Speaker Sneak Peek [![Dr. Bart Knols and Guido Welter AirWorks](https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knols%20and%20Guido.jpg?width=1200&name=Knols%20and%20Guido.jpg)](https://www.djiairworks.us/2020/agenda/session/299493) Given the stagnating progress in the fight against malaria, a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes that still claims more than 400 thousand lives each year, there is an urgent need for area-wide integrated mosquito management strategies. **Dr. Bart Knols** and **Guido Welter** will share the results of their research in deploying spray drones to control larval mosquito populations in an irrigated rice agro-ecosystem in Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania, as well as discuss the socio-economic implications of their findings.    [![Iain Kerr AirWorks](https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Iain%20Kerr2.jpg?width=1200&name=Iain%20Kerr2.jpg)](https://www.djiairworks.us/2020/agenda/session/286795) Oceanography due to its high cost has long been a prerogative of the privileged. **Iain Kerr**, CEO of Ocean Alliance, will discuss how drones are democratizing oceanography and wildlife conservation through dramatically reducing costs associated with data collection and monitoring. He will discuss SnotBot, a case study that highlights how the rapidly evolving field of drones, sensors and AI are going to radically change humanity's relationship with our oceans – oceans upon which we are all evermore dependent for survival.   [![Michael Ott and Beau Brown AirWorks](https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Michael%20and%20Beau.jpg?width=1200&name=Michael%20and%20Beau.jpg)](https://www.djiairworks.us/2020/agenda/session/298897) **Michael Ott** and **Beau Brown** of Rantizo will talk about the future of drones in agriculture: multi-drone swarms. Learn how Rantizo worked closely with the FAA to gain approval for nationwide swarm spraying and how agriculture businesses can leverage drone swarming for your operations today!    [![Lauren Elmore and Thomas Haun AirWorks](https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Lauren%20and%20Thomas.jpg?width=1200&name=Lauren%20and%20Thomas.jpg)](https://www.djiairworks.us/2020/agenda/session/280540) **Lauren Elmore**, CEO of Firmatek, and **Thomas Haun**, Chief Operating Officer of Turner Mining Group, will share their first-hand experience of building an enterprise drone program. Tune in for their advice on best practices and what to watch out for, as well as a discussion on the impact that a drone program has had on their operations and business.    [![Darshan Divakaran and Riley Beaman AirWorks](https://enterprise-insights.dji.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Darshan%20and%20Riley.jpg?width=1200&name=Darshan%20and%20Riley.jpg)](https://www.djiairworks.us/2020/agenda/session/293718) **Darshan Divakaran** and **Riley Beaman** will discuss how public and private sector UAS teams need to prepare for the Hurricane or Disaster Response.
