| The exhibit hall will feature more than 150 companies showcasing a wide array of border security products |
On April 13-14, 2016, the 10th Annual Border Security Expo will open at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas.
Border Security Expo draws attendees from around the world and has become the most highly anticipated conference and exhibition on border security. As in years past, the exhibit hall will feature more than 150 companies showcasing a wide array of cutting-edge border security products, technologies and systems aimed at increasing security while facilitating legitimate trade and travel. In addition to the expansive exhibit hall, attendees benefit from a comprehensive conference program covering the key issues addressing border security, as well as networking, special events, ceremonies, and idea-sharing throughout the two-day event.
Fulfilling law enforcement requirements
"Border Security Expo has proudly served the needs of federal, state, local and international law enforcement, as well as private-industry focused on border security, for the past decade," said Paul Mackler, President & CEO of Eagle Eye Expositions, producers of the annual event. "Given the confluence of federal and state events over the past year on the southwest border, including the newly formed Joint Task Force West, Southern Border Approaches Campaign, headed up by Director Robert Harris, being headquartered in San Antonio, and the sweeping $800 million border security legislation signed into law by Texas Gov. Abbott (House Bill 11), a change of venue to Texas in 2016 is in order to continue to best serve the needs of the border security community."
Border Security Expo's Advisory Board is chaired by Jayson P. Ahern, Principal at The Chertoff Group, and former Acting Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Advisory Board includes a diverse and distinguished group of leading experts well-versed on all facets of border security.
While the same high caliber speaker roster is expected, event management says there are new dynamics to the conference and exhibition that will make the overall event even more productive for exhibitors and attendees with the move to San Antonio. The full program will be announced in the months to come.
