American Society of Questioned Document Examiners

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.

AFSN 2024

The theme for the symposium this year is “Bridging Forensic, Humanitarian and Technological Progress”. The program will include opening ceremony, keynote lectures, Workgroup and Committee (WG/C) scientific sessions and business meetings, Annual General Meeting, and laboratory tour. A productive meeting which will provide an opportunity for forensic practitioners to meet with colleagues from across the region and learn about new approaches and best practices in their forensic fields.
