The Global UTM Association (GUTMA) will organize the 2023 edition of the flagship event Harmonized Skies this December. The international conference will be hosted at the International Civil Aviation Organization‘s (ICAO) headquarters. It will take place on December 4 2023 in Montreal, Canada a day before the Drone Enable Symposium.
Harmonized Skies has firmly established itself as a leading platform that brings together key industry and policy stakeholders from the UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) and the broader drone services ecosystem. The event serves as a pivotal forum for advancing discussions, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of UTM on a global scale.
The event is organized with the support of our strategic event partners Amazon and Wing and of our supporting event partners Dimetor, Intent Exchange, OpenUTM, Skeyes, and TII.
