For National Forensic Science Week (NFSW) (September 20th - 26th), the Consortium of Forensic Science Organizations (CFSO) is inviting IAI members hosting NFSW activities to submit their local celebrations to a combined calendar to highlight events across the country.

Here is a link to NSFW information:

To submit an event:

a. https://teamup.com/kssae5gof9t8784gcv
b. Select the event date and start time
c. Enter the event details
d. Leave the calendar type unchanged. The CFSO admin will assign the event to one of four categories: community open house, festival/in-person events, webinars/virtual events, or youth/school outreach.

**Do not change the calendar type – this will be adjusted by an administrator upon event approval to fall into one of 4 categories (community open houses; festivals & in-person events; webinars & virtual events; youth & school outreach)**
