Drones as tools, threat & evidence at INTERPOL Drone Expert summitIDES2025: Demonstrations, keynotes and real world scenarios for public safety

Drones on the frontline of operations

The INTERPOL Drone Expert Summit 2025 (IDES2025) in Ávila is designed to give participants more than knowledge. It is an opportunity to see and feel how drones are already changing the frontline of operations. Drones are saving lives in search and rescue, they are documenting crime scenes with precision and they are providing real time intelligence during complex incidents. At the same time, they are increasingly misused for smuggling across borders, for covert surveillance and even for hostile attacks. The urgency is real, and the stakes are high.

Live demonstrations that reveal reality

Live demonstrations form the beating heart of the summit. Here, participants will witness how the newst systems perform under realistic conditions. From Drone as First Responder programs to advanced counter drone measures, these sessions provide an unfiltered look at what works in practice and what is needed to protect communities.

Artificial intelligence and the next frontier

Artificial intelligence and big data integration are also in focus. New tools for automated detection, predictive analysis and swarm management are redefining what is possible. These technologies offer both hope and risk, and the summit will address the crucial legal and ethical frameworks that must accompany them.

Where facts meet solutions

IDES2025 is not just about listening, it is about experiencing the reality of drones as both threat and tool. With leading experts on stage, live technology in the air and a strong operational focus, this is where facts meet solutions. Secure your place and take part in shaping the future of the drone era.
