67th Annual PostGraduate Assembly in Anesthesiology

The New York State Society of Anesthesiologists, Inc., launched the first PostGraduate Assembly in Anesthesiology on December 13, 1945 in New York City's Hotel Pennsylvania. Originally, the 'PGA' was to be a biennial meeting. The second PGA was not held until 1947, and the venue was changed to the New Yorker Hotel. At this time, the New York State Section of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, had just been founded and the PGA also functioned as its annual meeting. The PGA is currently one of the three largest annual anesthesia conferences in the world, and hosts approximately 6,000 attendees in NYC each year.
