The 2012 Stability, Security, Transition and Reconstruction Operations Cnference will address stability efforts through the entire spectrum. We'll look at completed operations that show successes that are being replicated in other situations, current trouble spots and what we can expect in the future.

This year's conference explores the policies, programs and practices that helped Liberia and Colombia become more stable, peaceful and prosperous states. Identifying and replicating lessons and good practices from these success stories will hopefully contribute to whole government/society approaches toward preventing and responding to crises, conflict and other enablers and drivers of instability around the world, specifically Sudan and the MENA region.

DSI's U.S.-Canada Border Security Summit is designed as an edicational and proactive "Town Hall Meeting" where security leadership in both Canada and the U.S. can join together for actionable discussion and debate.

This discussion is vital as as the border shared by Canada and the U.S. is three times larger than the U.S.-Mexico border and facilitates over $1 billion of trade per day.

The U.S. and Canada have always worked together to secure the border, but the last few years have seen an increased level interoperability efforts and shared intelligence efforts, including the "Beyond the Border" Declaration Action Plan of December 2011 between both countries.

Key Topic Areas:

• Creation of force-multipliers
• Emerging investment in technology systems that address security needs for the US-Canadian border, including preapproved DoD applications
• Interoperable usage of intelligence
• Partnerships with federal, state, local, tribal and bi-national law enforcement agencies, as well as with the public and private sector
• Northern border counternarcotics strategy/Coordination of port operations/ Efficient use of manpower, mobile assets and security infrastructure
