SMi Group reports: Registration and the agenda is now available for the Border Security Conference, taking place in Prague next year

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 8, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With COVID-19 spreading across the globe, the security and integrity of a nation’s borders has rarely been more important than now. Amid this disruption, the problems of migration, cross-border criminality, and smart-borders have become even more critical as rogue elements seek to exploit the situation. These issues need to be addressed urgently by the international community.

Now in its fourteenth year, the Border Security Conference, taking place on the 10th-11th February 2021 has established itself as a market leader in this sector and is moving to Prague, Czech Republic, to meet these issues head-on. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet and network with senior military staff, government figures and industry from around the world, all responsible in their own way for enhancing border security capabilities on a global scale.

The biggest early bird discount of £400 is available until 30th October 2020. Register at http://www.bordersec-conference.com/pr1

The key focuses for 2021 include: COVID-19: Border Security in a Pandemic, Smart Borders, Combatting Cross-border Crime, Border Security at the Airport, Airport Technical and Enforcement Considerations, Migration and more.

On each day, senior expert speakers will be presenting opening keynote briefings, such as:

1) Host Nation Address: Czech Republic Response to COVID-19 and Working with Schengen
Presented by Mr Jiri Celikovsky, Head of Unit for Coordination of Schengen Cooperation and Border Control, Czech Republic Interior Ministry

2) Behavioural Detection & High Footfall Screening Technologies
