This year our conference will be held jointly with the Georgia Division at the beautiful Edgewater Beach Resort on the Gulf in Panama City Beach. This is the third joint conference between the two divisions and have always been some of our most successful conferences.

Our program will be new and diversified. We will have topics from all areas of forensics. We will keep the website up to date as the program is updated.

What sets this conference apart from others is the value attendees and their agencies receive. There is no other forensic training conference in existence that offers this amount of training for the cost. For members, a $210 full registration will give you access to all lectures, workshops (other than the (2) 40-hr workshops which are $50 additional) and the exhibitor hall with more than 60 exhibitor booths displaying the absolute latest in forensic technology. The conference is legendary for combining the best training with the most enjoyable social activities. All training counts towards IAI certification requirements and a certificate is issued for those attending the conference.

We have updated our conference registration form and now accept credit cards for payment. You can also download a pdf fillable registration form
