Ready to Build What’s Next? Meet Us at XPONENTIAL 2025

If you’re in the business of building what’s next in autonomy and AI servers, XPONENTIAL 2025 is not just another event—it’s your strategic command center. From May 19–22, the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston becomes the meeting point for engineers, business leaders, program directors, and technical decision-makers advancing uncrewed systems and AI-powered platforms across air, land, sea, and space with computing systems built for demanding environments.

XPONENTIAL isn’t about watching from the sidelines—it’s about getting in the room where product breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and mission-critical partnerships take shape for military, aerospace, and government technology solutions..

The Thought Leadership You Need

This year’s keynote speakers bring heavyweight insights from the highest levels of government, defense, and venture capital for AI-powered platforms, high density, low power servers, and autonomy-focused computing, including:

⇒ The Future of National Security - Sue Gordon, Former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Dr. Rush Doshi, Director of the China Strategy Initiative at the Council on Foreign Relations, will talk about the future of national security and private-sector responsibility

⇒ Unfiltered: What Tech Investors Really Think About UxS & Robotics - Matt Ocko (DCVC) and Stephen Rodriguez (One Defense) will talk about what investors really think about UxS innovation

⇒ Countering the Next Threat: SOCOM’s Strategy for Unmanned Systems and Operational Readiness - Lieutenant General Francis L. Donovan (USSOCOM) and other leaders are set to discuss defense readiness and uncrewed strategy

⇒ Dragonfly - Flights of Exploration on an Alien Moon - NASA’s Kenneth Hibbard will dive into the Dragonfly mission to Titan, proving the future of exploration is autonomous

⇒ Federal Aviation Administration Brief - Acting FAA Administrator, Chris Rocheleau, will shed light on where the FAA is headed with drone and advanced aviation policy

Sessions That Get Tactical

Beyond the big-picture talks, XPONENTIAL’s breakout sessions and workshops will get into the details that matter most to you and your team. Here are just a few highlights from the 2025 agenda:

• Unlocking the Power of Data" – A hands-on defense workshop focused on mission-critical analytics
• "Detect and Avoid (DAA) Standards: A How-To Workshop" – Crucial for anyone advancing Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) ops
• "Enhancing UAS Cybersecurity" – A deep dive into vulnerabilities and best practices to help foster standards
• "Scaling Remote Inspections" – Insights from a Fortune 50 energy company
• "Revolutionizing Defense: The Rise of Autonomy in Military Systems" – Forward-looking strategies for national security tech
• "Securing the Sky" – Focused on the evolving need for uncrewed systems communications protection
• "From DJI to Domestic" – Florida's transition to UAS-compliant public safety drone fleet
• "AI for Advanced Drone Use in Public Safety" – Leaders in AI and public safety drone use, real time crime centers, and first responders discuss AI in drone response

Each one is designed to deliver practical takeaways, spark collaboration, and fuel smarter product and policy decisions.

Even More Access: Co-Located Events Worth Attending

XPONENTIAL 2025 also features a robust lineup of co-located events for leaders looking to go even deeper:

⇒ Law-Tech Connect Workshop (May 19): Here you can explore techno-legal frameworks with FAA, U.S. Navy, and top legal experts

⇒ DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety Forum (May 19–22): This event sees law enforcement, fire, SAR, and emergency management sharing playbooks and field lessons

⇒ AUVSI Defense (May 20–22): Military program managers, tech strategists, and defense contractors will align on future-force capabilities

⇒ U.S.–Taiwan Autonomous Systems Cooperation Forum (May 20): This is a forum featuring a strategic session on global alliances and defense supply chain resilience

⇒ Innovation Vanguard Awards (IVA) (May 22): Presented by Inside Unmanned Systems, the IVA recognizes breakthrough achievements and visionary leadership in autonomous and unmanned technologies shaping the future of the industry.

These sessions fill the gap between learning and action, giving technical leaders, procurement teams, and investors the context they need to build better and faster.

Let’s Talk in Houston

Radeus Labs will be on-site at XPONENTIAL 2025 and is looking forward to connecting with teams on the cutting edge of autonomy. We design and manufacture ruggedized SATCOM and edge computing systems for defense, aerospace, and critical communications—built for reliability in high-risk, high-demand environments.

Our CEO, Juliet Correnti, will be attending and is available to meet with founders, engineers, and program leads who want to talk about real-world deployment and performance.

👉 Schedule time with Juliet during XPONENTIAL 2025. Let’s build what’s next—together.
