IBMATA Border Management and Technologies Summit Asia Pacific 2024


IBMATA is excited to announce the Border Management and Technologies Summit Asia Pacific, taking place in the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines, from November 5th to 7th, 2024. This premier international event will gather key stakeholders from governments, industry, and academia to explore the latest innovations, trends, and challenges in border management across the Asia Pacific region.


As the region faces ever-evolving security and operational challenges, this summit will provide a crucial platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. Participants will engage in high-level discussions on pressing border management issues, from enhancing security and intelligence capabilities to facilitating seamless trade and travel.


Key topics will include the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, biometrics, and data analytics in modern border control systems, with a special focus on streamlining customs processes and combating transnational crime. Delegates will also gain insights into case studies and best practices from leading nations, exploring how innovation can improve the efficiency, safety, and resilience of international borders.


In addition, the summit will address regional-specific challenges such as managing large-scale migration, strengthening cross-border collaboration, and securing maritime borders. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with global experts, policymakers, and solution providers, fostering partnerships that will shape the future of border management in the Asia Pacific.


We invite you to join us in Manila, whether as a speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, or participant, to be part of this landmark event. Your involvement is vital in driving forward the conversations that will influence the future of border management and security in the region and beyond.
