Transportation Security Forum (Paris, February 2007):
Securing trade and travel The
first event presenting technologies and approaches
designed for the security of the global transportation
network goes live on Wednesday, 28 February and
Thursday, 1 March, 2007
Milan, December 10th, 2006 – Wise Media S.p.A.
is proud to announce the creation of the Transportation
Security Forum, a global symposium focusing on
the security issues faced today by a strategic,
essential and vulnerable industry of every country:
transportation.
The Transportation Security
Forum is endorsed by the European Commission and
opens its doors in Paris for a two-day summit
on Wednesday, February 28th, 2007. The international
conference and exhibition will focus on how to
secure the hubs of the global transportation network:
airports, railroad stations, seaports and subway
stations.
Every day millions of people move
using air, sea and ground transportation systems,
taking millions of bags with them. Furthermore,
global trade transports huge quantities of goods
through our seaports, airports and railroad stations.
Tightening security requires that thousands of
companies make a concerted effort to continuously
improve their processes and develop, test and
deploy state-of-the art technologies and solutions.
Screening passengers and bags boarding commercial
carriers as well as the goods moved by the international
cargo system is the aim of both governments and
the transportation industry, in order to meet
the increasing demand for security in our changing
world.
The first Transportation Security
Forum will provide a snapshot of the regulations,
legislation and best practices regarding hub security
from around the world. The forum will also highlight
the state-of-the-art technologies available today
to improve the performance of front-end and back-end
processes in the transportation industry.
“The Transportation Security
Forum welcomes the key players involved in the
implementation and operation of secure trade lanes
and passenger routes”, says Sophie B. de
la Giroday, President of Wise Media. “The
event is an ideal meeting place for airport, seaport
and railroad premise operations managers, executives
and managers of cargo and passenger carrier companies,
transportation authorities, safety and security
bodies, and law enforcement officers mandated
with transportation security and border control
tasks.”
The Transportation Security Forum
will run in parallel with the Registered Traveler
Forum, the first global initiative designed to
showcase the technologies and solutions available
to provide expedited security screening of passengers
at airports. The Registered Traveler Forum is
endorsed by the European Commission. Please find
