International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI)

The International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI) is an organization that hosts annual conferences focused on forensic DNA analysis and human identification. These conferences cover topics relevant to criminal investigations, such as DNA analysis in wrongful convictions, investigative genetic genealogy, and complex homicide and serial rape cases. The events are primarily US-based, with the 2023 conference held in Denver, Colorado, and the 2024 conference scheduled for San Antonio, Texas. ISHI attracts over 900 forensic DNA experts and law enforcement professionals globally, including criminalists, research scientists, lab directors, CODIS analysts, and forensic scientists. The conferences also feature vendor exhibitions, and Promega Corporation has been a long-standing sponsor.
