LEDA Nashville 2023

LEDA is excited to bring a 4-day intensive, hands on training conference in Nashville.  Like our conferences in years past, we will implement about 60% classroom and 40% hands on flight training.  Also included will be the industry's best manufacturers and developers on site to demo their products and work their products into scenario based stations.  

This event will be TN POST Certified for Tennessee agencies!  The tentative event agenda can be found HERE and is subject to change.

We will have two sponsored evening events on night one and two.  First night will be at Faxon Hatchet House in Spring Hill and the second at a 1850 plantation home in Columbia with live Bluegrass music.  (Food and drinks will be available for purchase at each event.)

Topics for this event will include, but are not limited to the following:

-Airborne Search Tactics and Aircrew Management

-Aernautical Decision Making and Crew Resource Management for UAS Teams

-Indoor Tactical Flight Operations and Theory

-Supervisor's Breakout

-FAA Waivers and Law Enforcement Application

-Search and Rescue Tactics for UAS

-UAS Support for K9 Teams

-Basic Thermography

-Night Operations for UAS Teams

-Remote ID Requirements and Investigations

-Multitude of Incident Debriefs and Case Studies from real drone applications

-UAS Program Management and Administration

-Over a dozen practical flight scenarios, including breakout sessions from instructors from:

      The Unmanned Tactical Group

      National Institute of Standards and Technology

At the end of the week, students will receive a LEDA Certificate of Completion and we will be working with a local agency for TN POST Credit for agencies in this state.  Attendees will also have the opportunity on multiple occasions to obtain their LEDA NIST Flight Proficiency Skills 1 and/or 2 Certifications on site.

We have two hotel block reservations.  One is at the Holiday Inn Express Spring Hill, the other at the Best Western Spring Hill.  Both are less than 10 minutes from the venue (just across town) and are both under $130/night plus tax.  We will have 30 rooms available at the Holiday Inn Express and 20 available at the Best Western.

**If those hotel blocks are full, there is a Hampton Inn & Suites in Spring Hill that is very close to the location of the venue.  We will not have a hotel block there, but it should have rooms available should you need one.  

We will post the agenda for the conference as it becomes solidified, but count on bringing a UAS platform, if you can, to be able to fly our scenarios and NIST certificate courses. If you do not have a UAS platform to bring with you, our vendors/sponsors will have some for you to use if needed, but they will be limited.
