Anesthesia, Analgesia, & Surgery
Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona & Virtual
September 30 – October 3, 2021

The 2021 AAFP Conference was planned as a hybrid event which means it will be both in-person and virtual. The in-person part of the meeting took place at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

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 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!

Here’s What People Are Saying

“The AAFP conferences have always reignited my love of veterinary medicine, and I always go home with new ideas and a deep appreciation for the skill and talent out there expanding our knowledge and ability to help.”

“So many smart and engaging speakers and anesthesia/surgery is my jam! I loved how seamless the virtual experience was, and having the option to get bonus CE from recorded sessions is great.”

“This year there was not a lecture (I watched live) I didn’t learn something in. I can’t remember the last time I felt that way about a conference if ever. Great speakers and topics. Way to go. “

“I attended virtually. Technically, it was seamless. The topics were great, speakers were great. What I didn’t anticipate was the amazing, palpable vibe of cat love. I have never been around so many cat lovers! And I wasn’t even there – I was at home on my computer. I felt the love.”
