The theme for the meeting is Reflecting On and Improving the Foundational Knowledge of FDE. Our goal is to give our attendees the opportunity to sharpen their foundational knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) provided during their previous basic training and, for our trainees, our special session will focus on the KSAs of spectral examinations.

We have lined up a special day-long workshop provided by several examiners from the FBI QD section on the preservation and examination of charred and liquid soaked documents and we are working on developing it as a hands-on event.
