US Customs and Border Protection Industry Day

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Industry Day is a one-day event scheduled for May 22, 2012, at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC, aimed at providing private industry with insights into CBP's operational challenges and priorities amid fiscal constraints. There is no fee to attend, and the event theme focuses on evolving border security and trade missions, fostering open discussions between CBP and industry representatives. Attendance is limited to two individuals per company on-site, with an additional allowance of two webcast participants per company, allowing up to four registered attendees in total, though priority for webcast registration will be given to those companies unable to attend in person. Registration opens on May 8, 2012, through the designated event website. The event is organized by the Department of Homeland Security’s Procurement Directorate Contracting Division and targets companies operating within the NAICS code 334511. The CBP Industry Day offers an opportunity for direct engagement with CBP officials to understand current operational environments and challenges better. For questions or further information, Amanda Gilbert, the Contract Specialist, is the primary point of contact. The event also includes a live webcast to accommodate broader participation beyond the capacity limitations of the physical venue.
