ASCLS has four (4) major live conferences each year, the Annual Meeting, CLEC, Legislative Symposium, and the new ELMC². Live meetings and conferences offer continuing education with the added value of being able to see the speaker live, to ask your questions, and to hear the questions and answers of other participants. The conference format also provides opportunities for networking with your professional colleagues from across the nation.
