World Border Security Congress 2017 - Transnational platform to enhance border protection
The World Border Security Congress is the only multi-jurisdictional transnational platform where the border protection, management, and security industry policy-makers and practitioners convene annually to discuss the international challenges faced in protecting not only one’s own country’s borders, but those of neighbours and friends.
World Border Security Congress 2017 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.
