IDIAI

This year's conference will give crime scene investigators and forensic scientists from Illinois and surrounding states a unique opportunity to come together and see how forensic investigators from across the country investigate major cases.

The IDIAI training committee and division President have worked hard to provide law enforcement and lab personnel local access to nationwide forensic speakers, trends, and topics. Get ready for three days of case studies, evidence collection techniques, and view the latest equipment our exhibitors can provide!

We are constantly updating our program with new speakers. All lectures are subject to change as the schedule is finalized.
