The 3rd edition of the Border Management Conference took place during the global pandemic. It was the first time shifting the conference into a live-stream and virtual format. On one hand, it was feared that the lack of face-to-face interaction would hamper discussions and participation, but on the other hand, the greatest advantage was the ability to reach a much wider audience than ever possible before. The online modality in fact launched the annual conference into receiving much greater exposure, and therefore a greater diversity of insights, for which we can only be grateful.
The main themes of the conference addressed the challenges to border management in the era of tomorrow as well as those related to morphing technologies, and suggested different paths to streamline the work of border agencies in a comprehensive and methodological way.
