ISHI 2026

Join us at ISHI 2026

Meet our experts, learn about the latest advances in human identification and forensics and see how new technologies are helping laboratories move cases forward – from crime scene to courtroom.

Discover how forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) is changing the search for answers and justice.

Hear from Nicole Earnest-Payte as she shares her personal story of the NorCal Rapist case and the role FIGG played in bringing answers after decades.

Rachel Oefelein of DNA Labs International will share how her laboratory is using ForenSeq Kintelligence as part of its in-house FIGG strategy to help solve cases.

Then, Melissa Kotkin of QIAGEN will share exciting developments in FIGG and NGS and give us a glimpse of what’s coming next.

Join us for compelling stories, the latest developments and conversations about the growing impact of FIGG on forensic casework.

Room 556AB

Food and light refreshments will be served.
