Registration is now open for the Twenty-First Symposium and Exhibition on the ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (TRIP), taking place from 22 to 24 September 2026 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, Canada.
As the global aviation industry responds to increased traveller volumes, the need for more efficient and secure ways to identify and process travellers has never been more critical. TRIP 2026 will focus on all aspects of making travel seamless by discussing an array of topics under the theme “Putting Trust into Practice: Towards Trusted Travel Identity for All.” The sessions will address the five TRIP elements:
Evidence of Identity: Practical approaches to verifying identity through digital ecosystems.
MRTDs and Digital Credentials: Implementing eMRTDs and Digital Travel Credentials for efficient traveller control.
Document Issuance and Control: Modernizing issuance via digital workflows to ensure security and accountability.
Inspection Systems and Tools: Exploring Automated Border Control and the ICAO Public Key Directory.
Interoperable Applications: Leveraging interoperable applications that enable automation across the traveller journey.
We invite you to secure your place and join global experts and decision-makers working to advance secure and seamless travel. Please refer to the registration fees and information page for additional information.
If your organization aims to showcase its cutting?edge technology to senior government officials and industry leaders, we strongly encourage you to submit an expression of interest form for sponsorship or exhibition opportunities. The 2026 TRIP Symposium is almost sold out, with only a few slots remaining. We urge you to act quickly to secure your place.
