In furtherance of its mission, AFFNA hosts conferences for its members throughout the US.  We also provide support to the DEA Museum and the DEA Office of Training, all in an effort to preserve the history of drug law enforcement.  AFFNA hosts a trade show every year in conjunction with the International Drug Enforcement Conference (I.D.E.C.).  DEA hosts the I.D.E.C. and AFFNA provides a venue where vendors and the heads of over 80 countries' narcotic bureaus can meet.
