"IDGA is honored to present the inaugural Border Management Southwest in Tucson, AZ. Building upon the success of the flagship Border Management Summit in Washington, DC, this event will form the first leg of a regional conference series devoted to border issues.
There are constant and emergent threats that continuously endanger the security of the US. It is imperative that both the US and Mexico gain control over ports of entry, trans national gangs, and contraband heading in and out of Mexico. Organizations and businesses, therefore, need to work together to move forward with homeland security programs.
IDGA’s Border Management Southwest Summit aims to address the complexities of southwest border security initiatives and offer support and solutions for stakeholders from the federal level down.
