The UK Immigration Minister, Mark Harper MP, will once again be opening the World BORDERPOL Congress, a high level conference delivering discussions and debate on policies, implementation and technology that contributes towards successful border management and security.
The 2nd World BORDERPOL Congress will provide a platform for the world’s border protection forces and agencies to discuss and debate the current and future issues and challenges facing the border management, security and migration management sectors.
Controlling and managing international borders in the 21st Century continues to challenge the border control and immigration agencies around the world. It is generally agreed that in a globalised world borders should be as open as possible, but threats continue to remain in ever evolving circumstances and situations.
Advancements in technology are assisting in the battle to maintain safe and secure international travel. The border security professional still remains the front line against these threats.
The World BORDERPOL Congress is a high level, 2 day event providing you with the opportunity to reach the senior decision makers in the border protection and management industry. The exhibition provides a showcase of the leading technologies and solutions to meet the future challenges facing the border protection, management and security professional.
