The California Association of Criminalists (CAC) is a non-profit forensic science organization.   The CAC sponsors one seminar annually for the education and training of forensic scientists and draws individuals from many areas of the country including California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona.  You can learn more about our organization at https://www.cacnews.org .  This association represents forensic practitioners, professors, students and researchers in the field of forensic examination.  These meetings help foster an exchange of ideas and information in the field while also allowing cooperation and collaboration amongst crime laboratories.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the support of businesses and vendors to help make our meetings successful.

The CAC 140th Annual Seminar will be held in Southern California from April 26th to May 1st, 2026, and will be hosted by the California Department of Justice Bureau of Forensic Services Riverside Criminalistics Laboratory. 

At this time, we are making arrangements for door prizes that will be given throughout the event, items that can be distributed to attendees, or other donations that may be utilized during the seminar. Would it be possible for your business to contribute for this purpose, either monetarily or by donating a prize? We are a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible. As an additional benefit, all donors will be listed in our program that will be distributed to all the participants. 

We sincerely appreciate any contribution your business would like to make.
