About Conference

Conference is the process by which AA as a whole makes recommendations on how it should operate. It is not some distant lofty board making decisions, it is the dynamic and living expression of the conscience of the entire fellowship in Great Britain.

It begins with the groups, individuals and Intergroups offering questions, these are passed down through the service structure being refined as they go.

The questions are collated by the Conference Steering Committee and then passed back to the groups to discuss. Our responses are then passed back through the Conference structure to the annual Conference.

The responses are discussed in groups at a Conference meeting which then pass back the results to the groups through the Final Conference Report. Thus questions receive a very carefully thought out response and any actions are taken with responsible consideration.

Everyone's participation is vital in making this process work. Conference questions and response forms will be made available here between December and March.
