# Arlington Hosts Public Safety UAS Conference

TEXCON 2026 will run October 19–22 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, with hands-on courses at public-safety training sites across North Texas. The four-day conference and training event covers public-safety unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), counter-UAS, aviation security, software, and related technology. Private-sector companies must participate as exhibitors or sponsors to attend, while general admission is limited to eligible public-sector and approved organizations.

- Contractors in drone, counter-UAS, aviation security, software, and public-safety technology can use the exhibit hall and demonstrations to engage government and agency attendees.
- The event is a market-engagement and training opportunity, not a stated contract solicitation or award; businesses should plan for exhibitor or sponsor participation rather than general admission.
- Government attendees can access hands-on courses and connect with agencies and industry participants on interagency drone operations.
