AFDE Symposium - October 18-21, 2012
Pre-Symposium Workshop October 17: MovAlyzeR® Software in Forensic Document Examination - Understanding "Point-Of-Sale" Signatures
AFDE's annual symposiums meet the challenge of providing continuing education, allowing document examiners to keep informed of the latest developments and research within the field, and to expand their knowledge in general or specific directions. The Association's motto is: Professionals who share knowledge increase their own skills.
The 2012 Symposium will be held October 18-21 in Phoeniz, AZ. You can sign up for emailed updates, or check back here. Presentation Abstracts will be posted as available. If you would like to submit a proposal for a presentation, contact the Program Chairman.
The Pre-Symposium workshop will be held on October 17 at the same location. The workshop will be led by Dr. Hans-Leo Teulings and Ms. Heidi Harralson, D-BFDE. This will be a hands-on workshop using your laptop, and installed trial version of MovAlyzeR® and a graphics tablet or special digital pen to capture handwriting. Participants will learn the basics of how to plan an experiment, capture handwriting, and interpret the biometric data available in MovAlyzeR®. Point-Of-Sale signatures, which are becoming questioned signatures in FDE casework, will be the main focus of discussion.
Use the downloadable Registration Form for the Pre-Symposium Workshop and/or the Symposium registration.
NOTE: If you are not attending Board meetings or involved in testing, you have the day free until 6pm on Thursday, October 18. The Symposium registration begins at 6:00 PM, with the first speaker at 6:30 PM.
