The proceeding was opened by the deputy rector of the university, who gave a short speech in which he highlighted the importance of new technologies that can support agriculture. During the rest of the program there were lectures presented that covered current challenges in agriculture, introduced the concepts of precision agriculture, and how drones can be used in agriculture, as well as sessions that covered regulations and safety aspects of using drones in Malaysia. There were two days of hands-on training for technical aspects of processing and analyzing imagery from drones.
