See aa.org for more information on regional events.
East Central Regional Convention
This annual convention rotates between the 14 Areas following a rotation set by the East Central Region. It is held in conjunction with the hosting Area’s State Convention except in years that the International Convention is held.
The Conference of Delegates Past & Present
The Conference of Delegates Past & Present is usually held on the second weekend in February. This conference rotates among the 14 Areas in the East Central Region. Although this conference is aimed at assisting newly seated delegates in their preparation for the General Service Conference, everyone is welcome to attend this convention; it is not limited to delegates and past delegates.
East Central Regional Forum
The East Central Region hosts a forum in odd-numbered years, rotating within the region. Its purpose is to help the General Service Board, A.A. World Services, Inc., Grapevine and La Viña, and the General Service Office stay in touch with A.A. members, trusted servants, and newcomers to service throughout the A.A. service structure.
No formal actions result from Forums as they are intended to be sharing sessions. The input shared at Forums is captured in Forum Final Reports, which are made available on aa.org.
Regional and Special Forums carry A.A.’s message of love and service by improving communication at all levels of our Fellowship.
