2027 National Convention - will not proceed
2027-01-15 17:00 - 2027-01-17 17:00 | Wellington
The AA Board and Conference would like to advise members that the 2027 National Convention, planned for January 2027 in Wellington, will not proceed.

The Board is very mindful that National Conventions are an important part of AA life in Aotearoa New Zealand. They provide an opportunity for fellowship, connection, and service, and are something many members look forward to. The decision not to proceed in 2027 was therefore not taken lightly.

Ultimately, the Board carries the legal and financial responsibility for National Conventions. In reaching this decision, the Board and Conference considered factors including delivery readiness, financial exposure, venue suitability, and wider economic conditions that may affect attendance and risk. On balance, we unanimously agreed that proceeding with a 2027 Convention may place AA at undue risk.

We also want to acknowledge and thank the members who volunteered their time toward planning the proposed Convention. Their service is sincerely appreciated.

Yours in service,
The AA Board and AA Conference
