Overview
Visit the world’s largest living history museum in Williamsburg, Va., the restored 18th-century capital of Britain’s largest, wealthiest and most populous outpost of empire in the New World. Colonial Williamsburg tells the story of how a diverse population evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality. In Colonial Williamsburg’s 301-acre historic area stand hundreds of restored, reconstructed and historically furnished buildings. Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown make up the Historic Triangle of Virginia and are also well represented by world-class attractions and professional-class golf venues.
Ridley Barron
Join NAFA at our new venue, the beautiful Williamsburg Lodge, immediately adjacent to restored historic venues, golf courses and world-class shopping. Williamsburg also offers a host of fine restaurants for visitors of all tastes.
NAFA’s 34th Annual Anesthesia Conference features a variety of clinical lectures for the practicing anesthetist. This year, we are offering meeting participants the opportunity to attend a pre-conference ACLS workshop. You’ll also attend a lecture by keynote speaker Ridley Barron. In 2004, Barron’s family was radically altered by an automobile accident. In the midst of his family’s terrible loss, a medical error claimed another of Ridley’s family members, his son. His message to all health care providers must be heard: ”A victim’s perspective on quality care.” Space is limited, so reserve early for these programs.

Exhibitors
Coming soon.
I have been attending the NAFA Williamsburg meeting for about 15 years. It always has a focus on the current issues of anesthesia practice. It is impossible to attend the NAFA meeting and not take away new information that is applicable to your particular practice. Networking with colleagues from around the country is a great benefit as well.”
