About Border Security Expo
Border Security Expo is an event for professionals in border security, law enforcement, and public safety, showcasing the latest technologies and solutions for securing borders and critical infrastructure.
Border Security Expo 2027 in Phoenix
Border Security Expo 2027 runs April 27–28, 2027 in the South Building of the Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. A welcome reception and registration open on Monday, April 26, the day before the show.
What it is
Border Security Expo is a conference and exhibition for the border security community. The organiser describes it as the event for government, law enforcement, military and industry to advance the technology and build the strategy and partnerships behind border security.
Speakers and attendees come from federal, state and local agencies; the organiser names U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ICE, the Department of Justice and the military among the agencies that take part, alongside the companies that sell to them. The Bridge Group LLC runs the show.
The two days
- Tuesday, April 27: keynotes and general sessions, the exhibit hall, breakout sessions and a happy hour on the show floor.
- Wednesday, April 28: the exhibit hall and sessions continue, and the event concludes.
- Registration categories. Government and military attendees register separately from industry, and must show a valid CAC, PIV, active-duty military ID or other government ID at check-in. Government contractors, retired military and retired law enforcement register as industry. The organiser says registration opens in early 2027.
- Hotels. The organiser has arranged rates at downtown hotels within walking distance of the convention centre; the organiser says booking details will be released before the show.
On the floor
The exhibit hall covers surveillance and detection, biometrics and identity, communications and command and control, vehicles and armour, barriers and perimeter protection, CBRNE and screening equipment, and law enforcement training.
