Security and efficiency are critical for the San Diego-Tijuana international region -- the world’s largest bi-national metropolis. This conversation with two regional leaders will focus on ways in which a region-wide coalition of stakeholders can find solutions for 21st century realities. Burnham and Clark will discuss the Smart Border Coalition, which has set the goal of ensuring efficient border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana by harnessing technological innovation, as well as new ways to staff the border amid tougher security challenges.

They will discuss the foundations of the Smart Border Coalition, which has set the goal of assuring efficient border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana for the good of the economy and social interaction of the citizens.

The burgeoning San Diego-Tijuana border is "the most important corner of the continental United States," says San Diego developer and philanthropist Malin Burnham. This dynamic region is a center of innovation, biotech companies and prestigious research institutions, such as the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, where scientists have been working for more than 30 years to develop drugs for Alzheimer's disease, heart disease and cancer.
