Meeting Review: NAFA, Hilton Head Island, SC

Reviewed by:  PC,  Texas

Meeting Date:   05/29/2013

Meeting location:  Hilton Head Island, SC

Meeting presented by:   NAFA

Meeting strengths / interesting topics & speakers:    This meeting had relevant and dynamic speakers. None of these speakers spoke down to us or seemed more interested in hearing their own own presentation versus actually imparting usable information. Additionally, several speakers used video simulation to illustrate case concepts. The regional lecture included live demo with video simulcast along side of the sonography. It was an excellent teaching and demonstration adjunct. Even mundane topics that, on paper, seemed like basic review (ECG recognition and management), were made interesting by the delivery and case demonstrations (video VS simulation with input from real cases).

Suggested improvements:   Add another day, I really enjoyed it.

Overall value for the money:   Excellent value. Great location.

Meeting Review: NAFA Disney World

Meeting Date:  11/25/2012

Meeting location:  Disney World

Meeting presented by:   NAFA

Meeting strengths / interesting topics & speakers:

Overall, the meeting was very good. It was a great value for the money. The location was fantastic as well as the time of year as WDW wasn’t too busy right after Thanksgiving. The meeting facilities were nice and the breakfast was hot. Most of the topics were taught by CRNA’s and had a great diversity to include- politics, pedi, OB, etc. They also started earlier in the morning to allow extra CE’s and went till 1 pm to allow time for family.

Suggested improvements:  None.

Overall value for the money:

They had two early bird sessions for an extra 2 CEU and also it is affiliated with students so they allowed students to put up their posters and we can get an extra CE for commenting on posters. Overall- 23 CE’s for $550. By far the best value as far as CE for money. Plus the meeting rate for the resort was about a 1/3 of what somebody would have to pay regularly. The resort was very nice.
