Crime Laboratory Directors
With great anticipation, we are excited to announce the 52nd annual ASCLD Symposium, set to take place in the beautiful city of Denver, CO, April 4 - 8, 2025.
The preparations for this symposium involve the concerted efforts of many dedicated individuals who generously contribute their time, ideas, and hard work to create an outstanding event for our community. This collaborative spirit mirrors the daily commitment and teamwork that define our field.
This year's symposium will underscore the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches in forensic science. We aim to inspire leaders to leverage the power of diverse perspectives, methodologies, and technologies to drive meaningful advancements. By embracing the concept of synergy, we recognize that our collective efforts can achieve greater goals more efficiently and effectively, allowing our strengths and abilities to complement one another. This year's theme, "Forensic Synergy: Uniting Knowledge, Driving Excellence", embodies this philosophy and sets the stage for an impactful gathering.
We look forward to your attendance and participation. See you in Denver!!
