ACFAS 2023 will feature education on the latest advances in foot and ankle surgery, with the most advanced curriculum in the profession.

 

General Session

Inspiration and encouragement from thought leaders are an energizing component of the ACFAS Annual Scientific Conference programming.

This year’s featured keynote speaker is ESPN commentator, Victoria Arlen.

After being diagnosed with two rare conditions, Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, Victoria Arlen lost the ability to speak, eat, walk and move at the age of 11. She spent four years in a vegetative state and doctors believed she had little chance of recovery. But Victoria fought for her life. She defied the odds to win a gold medal at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, begin a broadcasting career with ESPN, and competed on Dancing with the Stars. Her autobiography, Locked In, was published in 2018.

In this very special ACFAS 2023 Keynote presentation, Victoria will share her incredible story of overcoming challenges, finding gratitude and alternative perspective, and using obstacles to create meaningful change.
