September 8, 2014: How Drone Technology Is Revolutionizing the Marketplace (with a demo), presented by Lloyd Garden and Brad Flora

We are pleased to welcome Lloyd Garden and Brad Flora to present: “How Drone Technology Is Revolutionizing the Marketplace.”

Aerial videography and photography, traffic reporting, environmental surveys, and product delivery are just some of the ways the now widely-available drone technology can be used.  Despite controversy over the personal and commercial use of drones and a lack of proper FAA regulation, companies are racing to take advantage of opportunities made possible by drone equipment that has become available to the mass market over the past few years.

Lloyd Garden and Brad Flora, co-owners of Drone Promotions LLC, a local company that 

provides aerial photography and videography, will talk about drone technology, FAA rules, and how drones can be used in a variety of markets.  They will also discuss Drone Promotions’ quest for innovative ways of using their drone outside the video production realm and will have their drone on hand for a demonstration (weather dependent).

The meeting will be on Monday, September 8th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5 fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.

We are pleased to welcome Eric Jennings to present: “A Complete Ecosystem for Building the Internet of Things.”

Until now, it's been very difficult to connect the physical world to the web.  Ever want to get an alert every time a chipmunk is in your vegetable garden, control your TV through the internet, or drive a robot from 10,000 miles away? Eric will describe how these projects and many more are possible with Pinoccio, a hardware, software, and API, for the Internet of Things revolution.

Eric Jennings, CTO of Pinoccio, will explain Pinoccio’s hardware and software product and he’ll show us how software, web, and mobile developers can now extend their expertise into the physical world, using the same tools and methods they're familiar with.
