Key Features

Western AFib (WAFIB)

Compared to Other AFib Meetings
Scope of Curriculum AFib A to Z — everything a clinician treating AFib needs to know: stroke risk, carotid disease, imaging, ablation, and digital health, curated across disciplines. Narrower topic focus; often confined to one discipline or procedural technique.
Learning Format Designed for discussion, debate, and interaction — case-based panels, roundtables, lightning sessions, and audience-driven Q&A. Primarily lecture-based with limited opportunity for peer exchange.
Faculty Depth and Engagement Features ~90 globally recognized experts — including leaders shaping the latest trials and technologies. Faculty are accessible, active, and engaged throughout the meeting and year-round via EP Lab Digest and digital channels. Often smaller faculty groups; less opportunity for direct interaction or ongoing engagement outside the event.
Official Media Partner Official meeting of EP Lab Digest, providing year-round coverage, interviews, and educational extensions that keep conversations going long after the meeting ends. Typically no formal media alignment or continuous exposure.
Community & Continuity Now in its 19th year, Western AFib is a tight-knit, inclusive community that continues learning together across platforms and throughout the year. Variable continuity; most events are standalone experiences.
