Built to Endure. Designed to Advance.
XPONENTIAL’s conference program is where people shaping the future of autonomy come together to ask bold questions, have provocative industry conversations, tackle challenges, and accelerate what’s next. From operational resilience and evolving regulation to cutting-edge research and implementation at scale, this program isn’t just about ideas – it leads to action.
With 100+ sessions curated across six strategic tracks – including Policy, Governance & Global Strategy, Strategic Resilience, Technology in Motion, Enterprise Operations & Ecosystem Integration, Building the Workforce of Autonomy, and Autonomy in Action – the program delivers actionable insight from the field’s foremost engineers, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.
Whether you're navigating complex regulatory environments, securing critical infrastructure, developing next-generation platforms, or scaling deployments with end users, XPONENTIAL is where strategies are sharpened, systems are validated, and cross-sector partnerships are forged.
Every element is curated to support professionals and organizations working across the autonomy ecosystem – those who are designing, deploying, governing, securing, and investing in uncrewed and robotic systems.
Past speakers have included leadership from the FAA, Shield AI, UPS Flight Forward, MITRE, Zipline, U.S. Army DEVCOM, NASA, Wisk Aero, Department of Homeland Security, Skydio, and NOAA – bringing insight across regulation, engineering, public safety, defense innovation, infrastructure integration, and commercial operations.
