The location for the 2025 Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) International Convention hasn't been officially announced yet. AA International typically announces the location of their conventions several years in advance, usually through their official website and publications.
How to Find the Information When it's Released:
To stay updated on the location of the 2025 AA International Convention, I recommend checking the following resources regularly:
- The AA World Services website: This is the official website for Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. Look for announcements on their news section or convention page.
- AA Grapevine: This is the official magazine of Alcoholics Anonymous. They often publish information about upcoming conventions.
- Local AA Intergroup Offices: Your local AA intergroup office might have information or be able to direct you to resources that do. They are usually a good source of information about AA events.
Why the Location Isn't Publicly Available Yet:
The planning process for these large international conventions takes considerable time. Securing a venue, negotiating contracts, and making all the necessary logistical arrangements require significant lead time. Announcing the location prematurely could lead to complications if unforeseen issues arise during the planning stages.
What to Expect from an AA International Convention:
AA International Conventions offer a unique opportunity for members from across the globe to connect, share their experiences, and learn from each other. These events usually feature:
- Keynote speakers: Prominent members of the AA fellowship often share their stories and insights.
- Workshops and meetings: A variety of meetings and workshops cater to diverse interests and needs within the AA community.
- Fellowship opportunities: The conventions provide a powerful opportunity for fellowship and building connections with others on a similar journey.
Remember to check back with the official AA resources regularly for updates. Once the location is announced, it will be widely publicized. In the meantime, focus on your recovery journey and connect with your local AA community.
