Past event: Border Management Summit

Implementing Next Generation Technology: Infrastructure, and Policies for Safe and Secure Borders

Scrutiny of border protection initiatives has been growing in recent years, particularly due to a surge in transnational crime, the emergence of sophisticated terror organizations, as well as other illicit activity. This 2-day summit will focus on creating a forum to tackle our nation's most difficult challenges of finding workable solutions and technologies to border protection challenges that can be implemented in the field immediately.

The Border Management Summit will bring together 250+ individuals ranging from DHS officials, industry executives, elected officials, and academia from across the U.S. and global stakeholders to discuss the challenges at the forefront of border management operations, policy and procurement's.

Key themes running throughout the summit include:

  • Border Management and Surveillance
  • Cyber Security
  • Critical Infrastructure
  • Processing, Exploiting and Disseminating Intelligence and ISR Platforms

With interactive discussion groups and panels you will have the opportunity to be a part of the summit sharing your expertise while learning about the DHS, TSA, CBP, FEMA (just to name a few) agencies priorities, strategies, requirements and future operations.
