LOG 01 People

The people.

Before the drones came the people: exhibitors, visitors, students and technical teams who met, asked questions and closed deals. That is what we want to bring back in 2027.

LIGHTS Drone show · 2025

The outdoor area, by night.

In 2025 we closed the day with a light show: dozens of coordinated drones drew shapes over the Club Hípico outdoor area, in front of the audience.

Drone light shows are one of the formats that can be proposed for EXPODRON Live 2027, subject to technical assessment and the applicable authorizations.
