World Convention of Narcotics Anonymous
WCNA 38: The Power of Love
A huge thank you to everyone who made WCNA 38 so powerful. We hope that all of us who were touched by the WCNA experience bring that Power of Love home to our communities, and use that energy to reach out just a little bit more than we did before. Addicts all over the world are dying to hear our message, and we each have work to do!
As you may have heard, registration was well below our projected break-even point. We typically include a financial accounting of the convention in the Annual Report.
We’re not sure where and when the next world convention will be held. The 2023 World Service Conference passed the following motion with consensus:
As a result of the COVID pandemic, to suspend the World Convention of NA (WCNA) rotation policy after 2024, to allow the World Board to determine what is possible and practical moving forward and then seek approval from conference participants.
Intent: Given the disruption in the rotation of WSC and WCNA that has already occurred, the increases in event costs, and the other changes brought about by the pandemic, to allow an evaluation by the World Board and approval by conference participants for what is possible and practical in the future.
The board will report any recommendations to conference participants and seek their approval.
NA World Services contracts with an outside vendor, Hope2Go, to offer recordings of the workshops and main meetings at the convention. To order recordings, click here https://na-speaker.com/conventions/wcna.html .
If you have photos or clips of NA events that we can use in videos or displays please upload them here: https://form.jotform.com/nawsdigital/please-share-your-na-event-photos. Please be sure you created the images or have approval to share them—and that everyone in the photos has given permission as well.
If you didn’t’ get a chance to fill out the membership survey at WCNA, fear not: it will be posted at na.org/survey until 31 January 2025.
Merchandise
We hope to have WCNA merchandise available for sale online soon.
