As mentioned last year, we've planned another exciting Fall Training Seminar!

Thursday, October 13, 2016
Training Facility, Fredericksburg, VA

Friday, October 14, 2016
Outdoor Range/ FBI Laboratory, Marine Corps Base Quantico

Please note that as a result of the excellent turnout we have had the past few years, we've changed the conference location to an off-site facility in Fredericksburg, VA. This facility is conveniently located off the 95 corridor, and offers more lodging and dining options than in previous years.

If you are interested in attending, or have questions regarding this event, please contact afte@ic.fbi.gov

Thank you.

For those that are unable to attend, would it be possible to obtain a copy of the action steps that are being addressed by the FBI?

[Jill Dupre]

I agree with Richard, it would be informative to have access to the FBI Validation of 3D Technology presentation, in addition to the 3D Surface Topographic Analysis presentation.  These are subjects/topics that cropping up in defense testimony - 2D versus 3D examinations/analysis.

Thank you.
