Every April, the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous meets to consider and vote on matters that affect A.A. as a whole. These items are known as Agenda Topics. In our Area, A.A. groups are invited to give their input—their group conscience—on these Agenda Topics via their General Service Representative (GSR), who in turn, informs our elected Delegate to the Conference.

2026 Agenda Topics Workshop

Before the General Service Conference, an Agenda Topics Workshop will be held in collaboration with District 05. The Agenda Topics Workshop (ATW) is an annual forum to provide GSRs with the support, resources and guidance needed for a successful Agenda Topics conference.

It will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026 from 10am to 2pm at Church of Nazarene: 495 Hawthorne Way, San Bruno, CA.
