CBA commits significant resources to engaging with organisations focused on awareness-raising and capacity building by responding to invitations to speak at international conferences throughout Europe, the Middle and Far East. India, Pakistan, and North Africa.
Delegates have attended these events representing Government Departments, national Customs, Security Services, academia, and a wide range of industrial sectors – from manufacturing and distribution, to storage and transport
