Title: InterFest International Conference 2005 Date: InterFest 9 - 10 November 2005, GovWare 11 November 2005 Venue: The Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, Singapore

Background

In the rapidly changing world we share today, the startling pace of technological innovation, globalization, spiraling cross-linkages in economic and social relationships, and security considerations have all resulted in a plethora of emerging opportunities and challenges.

Border controls and security have become in a sense, borderless and our first line of defence can be said to begin beyond our very shores. The need for cross-border linkages has never been a stronger imperative, and is mirrored today in the diverse representation gathered for this important event. The direction of bleeding edge technology towards the key fundamentals of identification, communication, and security is immeasurably reinforced by collaborative frameworks among the international community to address these needs.

Concurrently, the positive impact and implications for many industries cannot be denied, and none more so perhaps than for the hospitality and tourism sector. Nor can it be denied that collaboration is not confined to the public sector, but indeed requires the active involvement of private enterprise. These salient points are very much embodied in this event.
