Date: May 16-17, 2023
Venue: The Digital Futures Hub & KTH’s Reactor Hall, Stockholm, Sweden
Join us at the Second Drone Arena Challenge, a one-of-a-kind interactive experience with drone technology! We welcome audience members to a series of exciting talks as well as to watch the participants’ final performances! The event is free of charge. No registration is required (and nor do we accept reservations).
This year, we challenge the participating teams to move together with drones in beautiful, curious, and provocative ways. We provide the drone equipment and take care of everything necessary to make them fly. What the teams need to do is to be creative and move together with the drones to set up the best show they can deliver. (Team registration is now closed.)
Here is the schedule for when and where you can join us as a member of the audience:
