2 DSI s 2019 U.S. Border Security and Intelligence Summit will focus on ensuring the continued safety of the U.S. Homeland through the protection and security of its borders. Program Design & Goal: Securing the U.S. Border is a critical priority for Federal agencies, particularly as the current threat landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace. DHS and accompanying critical agencies, including international partners, are working together to protect the United States against transnational criminal organizations, illicit trade and transport, and violent extremism. The 2019 Summit topics will include the development of advanced technologies and solutions to enhance border protection, improvements and challenges to intelligence-sharing, and on-going operations to disrupt and degrade criminal networks through targeted enforcement on the border. DSI s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in border security as well as key-policy makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. DSI s Summit directly supports DHS, IC and Federal Government priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time. Operating Guidelines: DSI s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. * The Summit is open and complimentary to all DHS, IC, and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
