The Border Technology Summit convenes 400+ senior leaders from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, state and local law enforcement alongside industry innovators driving the next generation of border security .

As threats grow more complex, the 2026 summit focuses on how technology and cross-agency collaboration can strengthen detection, enforcement, and trade facilitation, across ports of entry and beyond. Taking place this September in San Diego, the event will showcase the strategies, capabilities, and partnerships defining modern border operations.
