Testimonials from our Previous Conferences
Check out just a few of our many reviews from recent conferences we've held around the country:
"This training really was fantastic. If it wasn’t for LEDA, my agency would not have a drone program. Everything I have ever learned about drone operations has been through LEDA."
"This is one of the best trainings and/or conferences I’ve been to over the last 20 years. I’ll pull whatever strings I can to convince my department to let me come back again and again..."
"Well worth my departments money and my time. Looking forward to the next one. There were so many experienced personnel in that room at one time, what more could you ask for in a training environment."
"Hands down the best police training I've ever taken. The volume of useful and truly relevant material was great. So much info to bring home and apply personally and to better develop and grow our program."
"The level of experience and knowledge of all of the instructors. As a supervisor of a new drone team, I gained a lot of usable information that will help make my program successful. The variety of breakout sessions was very helpful."
"Undoubtedly will make our program better short term and long term and drastically make me a better pilot and program manager."
