We are proud to announce the 14th Border Security Conference, taking place virtually on the 10th and 11th of February 2021.

With COVID-19 spreading across the globe, the security and integrity of a nation's borders has rarely been more important than now. Security protocols have been thrust into the global spotlight as border professionals have had to adapt and change their usual approaches while ensuring that their effectiveness is not compromised; a successful response has frequently hinged on the ability of a nation to prevent infected individuals from entering the country.

Amid this disruption, the problems of migration, cross-border criminality, and smart-borders have become even more critical as rogue elements seek to exploit the situation. These issues need to be addressed urgently by the international community.

In its fourteenth year, the Border Security Conference is moving online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; this will enable worldwide border professionals to meet these issues head-on. Bringing together border forces, airport and port personnel, industry leaders and key international agencies, the conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet with key industry stakeholders and to hear from some of the world's leading voices. Border Security 2021 is a truly global event firmly established in the market - it is not to be missed.
