Dear ACA Fellow Travellers,

We invite you to share your experience, strength, and hope! Members who have experience presenting in ACA are invited to apply to host a session at the upcoming Convention. 

The 2026 ACA Annual World Convention (AWC) will be held virtually on Zoom from March 27 to March 28, 2026. The Convention theme is “TRANSFORMATION – from Hurting to Healing to Helping, the ACA Recovery Journey”. 

We will have two Zoom rooms for the Convention: 

In the Workshop Room the presentations would be 90 minutes of a topic that helps others in their recovery – be it a practical skills workshop, a thought-provoking lecture or a panel discussion of your favourite ACA literature. 

Based on our survey results, applications with a focus on the following will have priority: 

• From Hurting to Healing to Helping – the ACA Recovery Journey (Convention Theme)
• Reparenting
• The ACA 12 Steps 
• Integrating the Laundry List and the Other Laundry List Traits
• Understanding how the ACA Program works 

In the Fellowship Room we welcome experiential activities such as meditation, body engagement (i.e. stretches, dance lessons, breath work), creative activities (i.e. arts and crafts), non dominant hand activities (i.e. writing, drawing, painting), games, etc.  

Applications will be accepted from November 1 to 30, 2025, 11:59 pm YOUR time zone.
