The recent AES International Conference on Audio Forensics, held June 18-20, 2019 in Porto, Portugal was a huge success. Thanks to all involved for a wonderful event. Details can be found here: http://www.aes.org/conferences/2019/forensics/.

Proceedings from this conference and all previous audio forensics conferences (26, 33, 39, 46, 54, 2017) are available here: http://www.aes.org/publications/conferences/. This includes the selection for the Best Paper Award named for conference Platinum Sponsors CEDAR Audio and Oxford Wave Research: "Inverse Decoding of PCM A-law and µ-law" by Luca Cuccovillo and Patrick Aichroth.

Audio Forensics refers to engineering and scientific analysis, evaluation and presentation of audio and acoustic evidence in a judicial inquiry normally leading towards a presentation in court. The complex challenges faced by the field transcend borders and jurisdictions, and becomes increasingly complex with the proliferation of new types of digital media. In order to establish a reliable scientific basis for the procedures and analysis of the outcomes of audio forensic analysis, the technical committee meets at AES conventions to plan conferences, workshops and tutorials; to encourage dissemination of scientific information through peer-reviewed journal and conference publications and posters; and to communicate educational opportunities in the field. Presently, the technical committee meetings for audio forensics are open to all attendees.
