The 2021 AAFP Conference is being planned as a hybrid event which means it will be both in-person and virtual. The in-person part of the meeting will take place at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona September 30-October 3, 2021.

As of now, due to the Convention Center regulations, the in-person attendance is limited to 625 veterinary professionals, with an additional 115 veterinary professionals able to attend in-person by watching the live streamed sessions in a separate room. This will allow more attendees to be able to participate in other aspects of the in-person conference such as the exhibit hall, social activities, and ancillary activities. Virtual attendance is unlimited, so if you are unable to make it to the in-person event, you can still access all the conference content and CE!

The AAFP is excited to announce this year's annual conference theme, Anesthesia, Analgesia, & Surgery. This will be a truly unique conference that encourages attendees in various stages of their professional development to increase their feline knowledge and elevate their standard of care for cats. Sessions are still being finalized but will include content such as local block techniques, anesthesia for senior cats, peri-operative pain management, orthopedic examination, OA pain, maladaptive pain, anesthesia/analgesia for endocrine comorbidities, anesthesia for oral/dental disease, beyond opioids and NSAIDs, euthanasia sedation protocols, various surgery techniques and recommendations, and much more!
