about ihia The International Homicide Investigators Association (IHIA) was founded during a 1988 Violent Crime Apprehension Program (ViCAP) Conference sponsored by the FBI in Quantico, Virginia. This Symposium is a valuable opportunity to network with law enforcement representatives from the United States and other global countries. With representatives in every U.S. state and nations on six continents, the membership includes highly respected death and homicide investigators, criminal behaviorists, forensic scientists, crime scene technicians, crime and intelligence analysts, prosecutors, and others, many of whom are considered among the foremost experts in their respective fields and disciplines. This Symposium provides state of the art training to attendees. It is an excellent opportunity for you, the supplier, to interface directly with these professionals. We would be honored if you would support the organization by exhibiting, advertising or sponsoring the IHIA’s 33rd Annual Symposium in San Diego, CA on August 1-5, 2027.
