I am organizing a 'Panel Discussion' on sUAS ( small Unmanned Aerial System - drone) Technology at Spring NEArc. This will cover:
The amount of press that drones are getting these days is quite remarkable for a new technology, but the safe implementation of the technology is not straightforward - so the discussion should be informative.
We have a panel made up of academic and commercial experts in addition to end-users.

NEARC was first established in 1986 to create a forum for users of ESRI’s GIS software to exchange information and to provide feedback to ESRI regarding software problems and requests for enhancements. The conference now has over 500 attendees, of increasing
diversity, both in the broad spectrum of industries we represent, and in software tools we use. NEARC is an independant organization that was established as a non-profit in 1995.

I was just looking at this yesterday! Here’s the FAA site of all the companies with exemptions to operate UAVs. It sounds like the application process is lengthy, but do-able. Their application documents include the UAV models they intend to operate, and if they got approved.

Subject: drones for aerial survey
I received an email ad for a helicopter drone that does mapping using a combination of aerial photography, GPS, and software to automate the process. I’m not promoting the product, but as an FYI there is a description of it, with links to more information, at http://airgon.com/products.html . The output products are a high resolution photomosaic and a 3D surface. It looks like a valuable tool for getting current aerial photography and topography for a site. The price tag is rather hefty, at $30K.
My question is, does anyone know of a vendor providing drone-based mapping services in New England, using this or other similar equipment?
