Mexico and the United States share the longest contiguous land border in the world, and monitoring traffic across it is a monumental effort. The border is an enormous economic gateway for the United States, but it requires control, safety and modernization to maintain it.  In order to mitigate human trafficking, drug smuggling and promote trade and cooperation between the US and Mexico, US border officials must leverage the latest innovative technologies and best practices. As time passes, the need for operator driven policies and solutions, modern devices, and fully integrated border becomes more crucial.

 

With this in mind, the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement is hosting our Border Technology Summit, on November 7-8, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. The event will bring together over 150 leaders from across key federal agencies like the US Customs and Border Protection and US Coast Guard, state/municipal law enforcement and Sheriffs, as well as industry solutions providers.

This year's event will aim to connect local, federal and state officials to discuss the top challenges and priorities in the field. Interactive group discussions and panels will address procurement initiatives and aligning border solutions with development of operators. Join us at the Border Technology Summit to engage with industry leaders, share your perspective with colleagues across the board, and learn about new programs, capabilities, and technologies that will change the face of the border management sector.
