Why we pay…

There are many AA Conventions held around the world. One of the most common misconceptions about these gatherings is that they are AA meetings and since there are no dues or fees for AA membership, there should be no fees to attend.

Conferences and conventions are special events, not regular meetings. They require months of planning, preparation, and money to organize. Since most events are held in hotels or convention centers, there is a charge for use of the facilities. Other expenses include travel and lodging for the speakers, printing of flyers and schedules, registration and other supplies and services. A large event requires a substantial amount of money.

This convention is self-supporting. No baskets are passed. The cost of the event is paid through the registration fees. The ideal goal is to break even; therefore, the registration fee is modest compared to a weekend of events elsewhere. Attendance is voluntary and as responsible AA members, we pay our own way.

Please choose how many people are registering; this form can accommodate up to 4 registrations. If your payment method is eTransfer, please use neoc.registrar2024@gmail.com as the recipient email.
