attendees. The event was a vibrant celebration of fellowship and friendship, bringing
together members and non-members to engage in meaningful dialogue and share
insights. Educational seminars focused on the latest trends and challenges in security and
investigation, providing valuable knowledge and fostering professional growth.

The conference also featured productive business meetings, where important discussions
on the association’s future took place. The highlight of the event was the Gala Night

the gala, the installation of WAD’s 2025 President, Officers, and Board members, who will
oversee the association’s management, was a momentous occasion, symbolizing a new
