FAQ
What is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and what is a convention?
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem—alcoholism—and to help others recover. The AA convention is a special gathering where AA members and interested individuals come together to celebrate recovery, learn from speakers and workshops, and find support in the fellowship.
Who is the convention for?
The convention is for anyone interested in recovery from alcoholism. This includes AA members, newcomers, family members, friends, and professionals who want to learn more about the program. Anyone who identifies with the problem or wants to learn more about AA is welcome.
What can I expect at the convention?
How is anonymity handled at the convention?
Anonymity is a key principle within AA. What you share at the convention stays within the group. We ask everyone to respect each other’s privacy and not share photos or names without permission.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes, absolutely! You can bring a friend, family member, or anyone interested. There are also special sessions and speakers for family members and friends
