Call for expression of interest from industry to attend/participate at the 6th ABC Workshop

2011-10-18

Call for expression of interest from industry to attend/participate at the  6th ABC Workshop accompanied by a demonstration of the No-Q system at Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, 29-30 November.

On 29-30 November 2011 Frontex will hold the 6th ABC Workshop organized in cooperation with the Dutch authorities. The workshop is aimed to look into the latest developments on the ABC systems currently in use, under testing, or planned by Member States. Additionally, this workshop is also intended to foster the exchange of Member States’ experiences and lessons learned through peer discussions on technical/operational challenges and solutions. These objectives will be further supported by the discussion on the coherent approach towards the ABC systems in Europe and demonstration of the No-Q system at Schiphol airport.

Frontex therefore invites relevant industry players to attend the event. Due to limited space, we will accept expressions of interest on a strictly first-come, first-served basis, as follows:

If you wish to attend the conference, only one representative per company will be accepted. Attendance is free of charge, but industry representatives will be asked to cover the cost of their own meals and accommodation.  The total capacity of the venue is limited and attendance will be granted on a strictly first come, first served basis.

Please express your interest to Frontex by 4 November exclusively by e-mail to Rasa Karbauskaite at rasa.karbauskaite@frontex.europa.eu . Your participation will be confirmed within three working days.  Again, capacity is limited and your attendance will be determined on a strictly first come, first served basis so in order to avoid disappointment you should express your interest immediately.

The venue of the conference is:

Park Plaza Amsterdam Airport

Melbournestraat 1, 1175 RM Lijnden

The Netherlands

Details as well as other logistical information will be sent only to participants who have successfully registered.
