ABOUT THE CONVENTION


In 1963 Area 30 (eastern MA) and Area 31 (western MA) decided to host a state-wide convention to foster AA unity, service, and recovery across Massachusetts.

A joint committee was formed to select a site, develop a program and hold the first MA State Convention (MSC), with Al-Anon participation.

Today, the convention happens in roughly the same way. The 2025 convention will be held November 14-16 at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel in Marlborough. Please join us!
