Feel the excitement of solving crimes.
Few professionals call for as much technical knowledge, critical thinking, and strategic teamwork as forensic science. At the Discover CSI: Forensic Science conference, you’ll explore an exciting field where scientists step out of the laboratory to solve difficult problems – with truth and justice on the line. Forensic experts, crime scene specialists, government agents, and other professionals will take you behind the scenes to learn how evidence is really processed. You will learn how DNA is collected and preserved and how the smallest detail can unravel a complicated crime. Whether you’re examining bullets, collecting latent fingerprints, or analyzing DNA, you’ll work on the cutting edge of investigative science.

Solve the crime in the CRIME SCENE SIMULATION.
Put the investigative tools you learn in the classroom to use in our Crime Scene Simulation. Conduct a full analysis of a crime scene including 3-D computer-generated facial reconstructions, ballistics, fiber and blood-spatter analysis, fingerprinting, DNA analysis, medical forensics, document analysis, and more. Interview “witnesses” and “suspects” as you and your team try to unravel the crime.

After careful review of the evidence, you’ll present your findings at a final inquest.
