We are excited to announce and invite you to Save the Date for the 2026 Joint ACSR and IAFSM Conference! After the success of our previous joint conference, we are once again bringing together forensic professionals from across the country and around the world to explore the integration of traditional forensic techniques with cutting-edge 3D technologies. Dates: 23-27 February 2026 Location: Embassy Suites, Boulder, CO Located at the foot of the Flatirons in Boulder, Colorado, the Embassy Suites offers a comfortable and well-equipped venue for the conference. Boulder is renowned for its winter outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both professional development and recreation during the winter season. This conference will provide a unique opportunity for forensic professionals to explore how 3D technologies, such as LiDAR, drones, and photogrammetry, are transforming the forensic field alongside traditional techniques like bloodstain pattern analysis, shooting incident reconstruction, and crime scene reconstruction. With international attendees expected, the conference promises to offer a global perspective on the future of forensic science. Additionally, IAFSM will be hosting the Basic Laser Scanning Certification (BLSC) on Sunday, February 22nd, 2026. This certification opportunity is ideal for professionals using terrestrial laser scanners to gain or refresh their certification in 3D laser scanner operation. (fb)
