I look forward to moderating the luncheon panel to help build networking opportunities for more women and girls,” Lemieux said. 

“The event this year is also particularly exciting since we are thrilled to announce a partnership with Women and Drones,” said Katie Flash, Content Director, InterDrone, adding, “Our event strives to highlight all the amazing things women are doing in this space, and this partnership allows us to take that to the next level.”
