An ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (ICAO TRIP) Regional
Seminar on traveller identification management will take place from 31 January to 2 February 2017 in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda.
The Seminar, hosted by Ministry of Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, will address the five elements of the ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (ICAO TRIP) Strategy, including: machine readable travel document (MRTD) standards; specifications and best practices; secure travel document issuance; robust evidence of identity processes; and information sharing technologies highly relevant to the execution of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions 2178 (2014) and 2309 (2016) on combatting foreign terrorist fighters, with a special focus on effective border control management.
An exhibition will complement the Seminar, showcasing a broad range of products and services related notably to travel document security applications, border inspection and automated border control systems. Seminar participants will have an opportunity to interact with ICAO industry partners and experts to discuss the latest available traveller identification technologies.
This ICAO TRIP Regional Seminar provides a unique opportunity to exchange information and enhance expertise and would be of benefit to passport issuing offices, aviation security authorities, civil registries, border control and law enforcement authorities, as well as to airline companies, airport authorities, and other interested parties.
Seminar speakers and facilitators include top experts in the field, policy makers and senior managers, practitioners and researchers, many from the relevant working groups of ICAO, ISO and other international organizations.
