Conference overview
Ensuring a constant and consistent level of security at the UK's border represents an integral part of the Government's efforts to maintain public safety and ensure national resilience within today's evolving threat environment.
Against the backdrop of recent disputes over the control measures being introduced at the UK's border, and as the UK prepares to host the world's single largest sporting event of the decade, overcoming the challenges of border protection will therefore undoubtedly become an increasingly important feature on the Government's agenda in the period ahead.
Bringing together senior figures from across the public and private sectors, this year's RUSI Border Security Conference will thus examine the range of threats emanating from the transnational cross-border flow of people, information, and illicit goods; and will provide a critical evaluation of the strategies, partnerships and technologies that are currently being used to combat them.
