Exhibitions

Border Security Week is a series of regional events dedicated to improving border security and management across Africa. These events address all three border environments, air, land, and maritime, by convening agencies and stakeholders from these sectors. Focused on advancing safe and secure borders as well as migration management technologies, Border Security Week tackles the latest challenges and issues affecting border security in Africa. These annual events feature a diverse lineup of speakers, facilitators, and panelists who provide valuable insights, along with practical models, methods, and mechanisms proven effective in other countries.

InterForensics, the largest Forensic Science event in Latin America, and one of the most significant worldwide, will take place from August 25 to 28, 2025, in Curitiba, Paraná. Over four days, professionals from criminal investigation, scientific research, the legal field, and industry will engage in a dynamic program focused on knowledge sharing and innovation.

The opening day, August 25, is dedicated exclusively to optional mini-courses, offering in-depth training opportunities. From August 26 to 28, the main program will feature thematic conferences across 17 specialized areas of Forensic Science.

The event will bring together leading organizations, experts, and companies for a robust agenda of networking, debates, lectures, exhibitions, and research presentations, fostering meaningful connections and advancing the future of forensic science.

Over the years, MAFS has grown to include participants from all over the U.S. and even some from outside the U.S.; however, the original goal of the organization has not changed.  Annual fall meetings and spring workshops are held to provide opportunities for scientists to advance their expertise and share their knowledge with others.  A visiting scientist program is available to aid laboratories with specific training needs.  University students are encouraged to join the organization and present relevant research that may impact the field.
