description The Wolf Creek Conference is a seminal meeting of resuscitation researchers that has significantly influenced scientific advances and patient care in the field of cardiac arrest resuscitation over nearly half a century. Originating in 1975 at the Wolf Creek Lodge in Georgia, the conference was founded by Drs. James Elam, James Jude, and Peter Safar with the aim of improving clinical practices in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by stimulating laboratory and clinical research. Over 17 conferences to date, the scope has broadened to encompass the growing field of resuscitation science, participation has expanded to include thought leaders and scientists from both academia and industry, and the proceedings have catalyzed numerous innovations in field. This narrative review highlights the genesis, objectives, proceedings, and impact of the Wolf Creek Conference from 1975 to the present.
