The first IABPA conference held in Europe was quite a success with about 140 attendees from over 20 countries. The organisers, André Hendrix [Politie Zeeland, The Netherlands] and Peter Lamb [Forensic Science Service, UK] did a great job. As with the Santa Barbara conference, the attendees were from quite diverse backgrounds and levels of experience which made discussions quite interesting.

I had a chance to demonstrate the HemoSpat Beta to a number of the attendees and the response was overwhelmingly positive. [To all those I was able to talk with – thank you for your interest in our project and I look forward to working with you in the future.]

See you in Corning NY!

I attended the IABPA training conference in Santa Barbara, California. It was a great learning experience!

I’d like to thank the organisers [especially Char] and the other attendees for making me feel welcome even though I don’t work in law enforcement or a crime laboratory. I look forward to working with you to provide the best tools I can for bloodstain pattern analysis.

See you in The Netherlands!
