Conference on Waterside Security
Protecting large ports, coastal urban centres, critical infrastructure and industry located along the water has become one of the greater security challenges. Waterside security includes measures taken to counter maritime terrorists, pirates, smuggling, and human trafficking. The 2nd International Waterside Security Conference (WSS2010), taking place from 3rd to 5th November gathers over one hundred experts from all over the world at the Carrara Congressi in three parallel sessions.
The delegates are researchers and security providers, military and civilian, who will present and discuss new technologies and how to transition them into operations.
The Conference is hosted by NURC, La Spezia and the official language is English. The opening ceremony is scheduled on 3rd November at 9:00 AM at Carrara Congressi (Viale G. Galilei 133, Marina di Carrara, Italy). Following that, Commander SG Stein Olav Hagalid of the Royal Norwegian Navy will pave the way for discussions with a plenary session on 'Reducing Vulnerability Through Multi-National Collaboration'.
