Southern California AA Convention 2026
Southern California AA Convention
The first Southern California AA Convention in Long Beach in 1952 was started with one purpose; to create unity amongst Southern California alcoholics from Bakersfield to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and San Diego. In our 74th year, unity is still alive and well in this year’s theme.
