This year’s conference will take stock of current developments in the justice and home affairs (JHA) area where the upcoming launch of the Entry/Exit System (EES), the European Travel Information Authorisation System (ETIAS) and the new interoperability architecture will create a new and modern gateway at European external borders. Further to that, handling the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked new initiatives, such as vaccination passports and medical tests, all affecting traditional border checks.
Progressively, the EU has been moving towards centralised and standardised information exchange in the JHA domain. The conference will provide an opportunity to debate how large-scale IT systems and a new information architecture could support intelligence gathering in order to improve the overall travel experience. Among the questions related to travel experience, the conference will in particular focus on lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, on the next generation of the Schengen area’s invisible borders and on new travel intelligence. It will also provide an opportunity to openly talk about the shortcomings and the experiences gained while deploying modern technologies at external borders.
Our speakers line-up will include high-level decision-makers from EU institutions and agencies as well as from international organisations and EU Member States.
