WHAT PEOPLE SAY

It was great. I've been in forensics for 20+ years and this is by far one of the best conferences I have attended

The 2025 ASCLD Leadership Academy and Symposium was my favorite conference to date. It was worth every penny and I'd recommend it to others.

I had an amazing time, got great resources to bring back to the lab, and was very pleased with the event. Top notch as always!
