Shape the future of forensics investigation 

Be part of an award-winning programme

Forensics Expo Europe will return to Olympia London alongside award-winning Blue Light Show and we are now inviting speaker submissions for our 2026 conference programme. 

This flagship event brings together leaders, policymakers and frontline specialists from policing, fire & rescue, ambulance services, civil resilience, search & rescue, and forensic science.  

2026 will also see the addition of a dedicated Public Safety & Threat Mitigation zone with dedicated conference programme.

With a renewed mission to strengthen cross-service collaboration, innovation and operational excellence, we invite you to submit your call for papers that fit within the following framework.

Submit your paper under one of the following programme pillars

Crime Scene Investigation & Evidence Recovery 

From the scene to the lab: precision, accuracy, and operational excellence.

This pillar covers everything that happens at the scene of a crime and during the investigative process. Sessions will explore the methodologies, tools and technologies driving accuracy, efficiency, and stronger case outcomes.

Laboratory Science & Technology

Where biology, chemistry and advanced science shape the truth.

This pillar focuses on the biological, chemical, and physical sciences that underpin modern forensic analysis. Expect cutting-edge scientific developments, casework applications, and discussions on how emerging disciplines are reshaping forensic investigation.

Digital, Tech & Future

Investigations are evolving, fast. This pillar looks ahead to what’s next.

Digital forensics is advancing at unprecedented speed. This pillar explores the cutting-edge technologies transforming how evidence is captured, analysed and presented.

  • Crime Scene Management – securing, preserving and documenting evidence

  • Evidence Recovery Techniques – fingerprints, footprints, trace evidence, fibres, blood spatter

  • Forensic Photography & Imaging – drones, 3D and laser scanning, immersive capture

  • Environmental Forensics – soil, water, and botanical evidence

  • Forensic Entomology – time-of-death determinations using insect activity

  • Mobile Forensic Units – rapid DNA, mobile labs, field-based toxicology

Ideal for: CSIs, SOCOs, forensic investigators, imaging specialists, evidence technicians, homicide and major crime investigators, counter-terrorism teams, mobile forensics units.
