Past event: Border Management & Technologies Summit 2015

Event Overview

Now entering our 3rd year of our Border Management event, we will look into emerging countries that are making significant improvements to their border security. The event will also look into the new technologies and paradigms being developed to create more efficient borders..

With more airports across Europe using ABC systems we will gain different perspectives from industry experts who will discuss the pros and cons of ABC across Europe. With more migrants looking to cross borders across Europe many border guards are becoming frustrated at the lack of resources given to tackle the problem, this event will see analyse whether there needs to be greater international cooperation to assist border guards across Europe.

Our 2015 event will also take a greater look into the borders in Eastern Europe and their IBM strategies and future roadmap.

Identity Management systems being developed at borders are becoming more sophisticated and our event will look into the different techniques used by border forces across Europe. The EU is focused on creating Smart Borders and the use of biometrics such as technologies such as Fly on the Finger are being pushed through to key travel hubs across the EU.
