The United States and Mexico share the longest contiguous land border in the world, and monitoring traffic across it is a monumental effort. The border is an enormous economic gateway for the United States, but it requires control, safety and modernization to maintain it. In order to mitigate human trafficking, drug smuggling and promote trade and cooperation between the US and Mexico, US border officials must leverage the latest innovative technologies and best practices. As time passes, the need for operator driven policies and solutions, modern devices, and a fully integrated border becomes more crucial.
With this in mind, we are hosting our
Border Technology Summit, on September 24-25, 2024, in San Diego, California. The event will bring together over 150 leaders from across key federal agencies like the US Customs and Border Protection and US Coast Guard, state/municipal law enforcement and Sheriffs, as well as industry solutions providers.

Border Technology Summit provides a forum to explore the latest advancements in border security technology. This year, we are focusing on engaging our audience with high level discussions surrounding advancements in biometrics, non-intrusive inspection, smart walls, current and future operations of border security, and much more. We look forward to seeing familiar and new faces in our audience this year.
