The 2024 AAFS Annual Scientific Conference is just around the corner! The Program Committee has put together an exciting schedule of events that should not be missed. The meeting theme, Justice for All, will be highlighted by our Keynote Speaker Professor Bryan Stevenson, the Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and internationally acclaimed social justice and human rights attorney. The conference will kick-off on Sunday, February 28, with a free screening of Just Mercy, the 2019 film based on Mr. Stevenson's New York Times bestselling book.

The conference offers something for everyone. There will be 23 workshops, offering continuing education opportunities for all forensic science disciplines.  Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about accreditation, new drug analytes, current topics in medicolegal death investigation, and much more.  AAFS workshops are a great way to bolster one's practical knowledge while supporting the terrific educational program of the AAFS.
