The Southern California Convention is the Grand Daddy of AA conventions in Southern California.   It was brought into existence to fulfill an important need for the members of Alcoholics Anonymous long before the current explosion of AA conventions.  The Southern California Convention has continued to provide that service for over half a century. 

Please join us this year for fellowship and sobriety.  

If you wish to attend you may fill out the registration form on this website.  Further information about the hotel site and directions are linked to this website.

Interpreters will be provided for the Friday Night  AA Speaker Meeting, the Saturday AA Banquet Meeting, and Sunday AA Closing meeting

AA Conventions:   Why do I have to Pay?

While there are no dues or fees for membership in AA, there are many conferences around the world and the most common misconception of these gatherings are that they are AA meetings, and “there are no dues and fees for AA membership.”  However, Conventions and Conferences are special events, not regular AA meetings.

This Convention requires months of planning, preparation and money to present.  Since all of the events are held at a Convention Center, there is a charge to the Committee for the use of these facilities.   Other expenses include travel and lodging for speakers, printing costs, postage and supplies.  The event is paid for through the cost of the registration.  No baskets are passed.  As responsible AA members “WE PAY OUR OWN WAY.”
