You're Invited!

Join us Friday night as we mark the 77th year of our conference with an unforgettable casino-themed celebration — Club 77!

Club 77 promises an evening of excitement, glamour, and good company as we come together to celebrate the culmination of another incredible conference.

Indulge in light desserts and drinks, hit the dance floor, or test your luck and skill at our array of casino games, from blackjack to roulette. The evening also offers a meaningful opportunity to give back — in addition to a portion of each ticket sold benefiting the Forensic Sciences Foundation (FSF), we'll have a number of other ways you can support the educational and research initiatives of the FSF.

Dress to Impress

Make a statement in your best Casino Royale-inspired attire — elegant and sophisticated, but not overly formal. It's the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxed yet festive atmosphere with your peers after the week's sessions and networking.

The Jackpot

As a grand finale, one lucky attendee will win the big prize of the evening: a luxurious weekend getaway to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas! This incredible package includes a 2-night stay for two, private transportation between the airport and hotel, and a complimentary dinner at one of Caesar's renowned restaurants.
