This three-day conference celebrates our 1960 founding in the city where it all began, sunny Los Angeles. It is a weekend jam-packed with panels, workshops (including Body Image, Sober Eating, and a weekend-long Big Book Workshop led by a fellow with over 40 years of abstinence), and marathon meetings to deepen your recovery. And in the evenings? World-class comedians and dancing!
Come make some recovery memories you’ll never forget.
