The European Border Management, Defence, Internal Security and Migration Conference 2017 | Forum Europe | 20 June 2017 | Brussels, Belgium

The recent launch of the European Commission's Security Union Strategy, a new European Defence Action Plan and European Migration Package coupled to the 2016 Smart Borders Package highlight the growing importance of addressing the challenge of European security through proposing an integrated and innovative European-led response in the digital age.

This high-level conference will be strategy and solution focused, analysing the impact digital technologies, innovation and effective leadership can have on implementing the Commission's initiatives across Europe whilst guaranteeing ongoing trust in European public authorities, meeting citizens’ expectations and ensuring that Europe continues to act in solidarity on all migration, security, public safety and defence challenges.
