Conferences

IAFPA runs an annual conference to facilitate the exchange of research, methodology and best practice for the forensic analysis of speech and audio recordings, and any other issues pertinent to the organisation’s aims.

2025 Annual Conference

Our 33rd annual IAFPA Conference was held on 20-23 July 2025 in Den Haag (The Hague) in the Netherlands, at the ‘Wijnhaven’ part of the Campus Den Haag of the University of Leiden. More information can be found on the conference website.

IAFPA Student Travel Grant

We are delighted to offer an IAFPA travel grant of £500 for students who are self-funding attendance at our 2025 conference.  Student members should look out for the call for grant applications prior to each conference. This grant is funded directly by IAFPA.

Student Conference Prizes

IAFPA awards 2 student conference presentation prizes each year – for the best oral presentation and the best poster presentation – with winners receiving a free registration for the next conference. We are very grateful to Oxford Wave Research for sponsoring a separate prize for talks on acoustics and automatic voice analysis.
