World Border Security Congress
2023-04-25 00:00 - 2023-04-27 23:59 (Europe/London)
Skopje, North Macedonia

From the organisers:

In March 2020, North Macedonia acceded to NATO, becoming the 30th member state and accession process to join the European Union remains ongoing.

Ranked as the fourth “best reformatory state” out of 178 countries ranked by the World Bank in 2009, North Macedonia has undergone considerable economic reform since independence. North Macedonia has witnessed steady, though slow, economic growth and has implemented policies focused on attracting foreign investment and promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The country has a rich and diverse history and Skopje, the capital has been inhabited since at least 4000 BC; remains of Neolithic settlements have been found within the old Kale Fortress that overlooks the vibrant modern city centre.

By virtue of its position North Macedonia sits on the Balkan route for illegal migration into the European Union and therefore faces border challenges that require a collective, collaborative, and holistic response, making it the ideal place for the next meeting of the World Border Security Congress.

You are invited to join us in Skopje, North Macedonia for the 2023 World Border Security Congress, co-hosted by the Ministry of Interior and Border Police of North Macedonia, on the 25th-27th April 2023, for the next annual gathering of the international border security, protection & management community.

2023-09-12 00:00 - 2023-09-13 23:59 (Europe/London)
320 N. Flower Street, Santa Ana, CA, USA

From the organisers:

The California Association of Crime Laboratory Directors grew out of its predecessor organization, the Criminalistics Management Association (CMA). It was founded in the 1960’s by many of the same criminalists who founded the California Association of Criminalists.

The founders of the organization believed that the growing managerial complexity of criminalistics and forensic science required a different skill set than was used as a practicing bench-level criminalist.

The growth and sophistication of the CMA grew into the California Association of Crime Laboratory Directors.

Regular membership is offered to all those who manage forensic laboratories or supervise forensic scientists. Others who support the objectives of the CACLD are urged to join as affiliate members.

The current membership includes all the public and most of the private forensic science laboratories in California. Other members include crime laboratory managers from Arizona and Nevada, as well as academic members.
