8th Border Management and Identity Conference (BMIC8)

Fragomen is a sponsor at the 8th Border Management and Identity Conference (BMIC8) on 2–4 December 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Since its inception in 2010, BMIC has grown into a global forum for government agencies (immigration, border control, civil registration, customs, public security, etc.), international organizations, industry partners, and subject matter experts to exchange information and shape the future border and identity management agenda. As Asia’s and Pacific’s leading event in this field, BMIC8 will convene participants from around the world to discuss innovations for secure and efficient cross-border migration and travel in today’s rapidly changing environment.

BMIC8 will provide an international forum to examine how border management can remain effective, inclusive, and resilient in an era of rapid change. Through high-level dialogue, technical workshops, and practical demonstrations, the conference will support stakeholders in adapting policies, technologies, and institutional frameworks to evolving realities.

The theme for BMIC8 is: Proof in Motion: Adapting Border Management in an Evolving World

BMIC8 will provide a unique platform for the exchange of information, experiences, and the latest developments in border and identity management. The three-day conference and exhibition will include plenary sessions, four thematic workshops, and a dedicated exhibition space showcasing border and identity management technologies and solutions. The format is designed to promote dialogue and collaboration among government authorities, industry partners, international organizations, and subject matter experts.
