Conventions Committee
The purpose of the Convention Committee shall be to process bids for annual conventions, to assist
host districts in planning the conventions, and to conduct conventions when the Area is the host.
For the full version of the Convention Committee Guidelines, please refer to the most recent version of the VAC Service Manual.
2024 VAC CONVENTION
Registration is open for the upcoming 2024 VAC Convention to be held on Friday, August 8 – 11, 2024 in Roanoke, VA.
2025 Alcoholic's Anonymous International Convention
The AA International Convention is held every 5 years in North America. In 2025 it will be held in
Vancouver, BC, July 3-6, 2025.
As the convention planning is formalized, information will be shared on the AA website at www.aa.org/international-convention. Many in our community have had DUI’s that might prevent them from traveling to Canada, but there are ways to overcome that barrier to entry. If you have questions about traveling to Canada, there is an FAQ page where you can find information about Canada’s immigration law. Visit www.aa.org/international-convention-2025-faqs
