The 2026 SA, S-Anon, S-Ateen International Convention will be an uplifting time where the members will be immersed in hope, recovery, and fellowship.

Have you been to Colorado in July? The 2026 International SA, S-Anon, S-Ateen will be held in Denver, Colorado, on July 17-19. You are cordially invited to join us! Our theme is Hope Elevated, and the Mile High City is the perfect location to experience this.

Many of you may or may not have attended an International Conference, and it is an experience that will “supercharge” your recovery. 

If you fly into Denver International Airport, there are multiple ways you can get to the Hotel. The most economical option is RTD Light Rail, which can be accessed from the airport terminal. Follow the signs at the baggage claim area. The second option is Blue Shuttle Van. There are also various rental car services if you are planning an extended stay in and around Denver. Find more information on the website.

The registration website has several tabs that will answer most of the basic questions you may have. The SA events are at the south end of the hotel, whereas the events for S-Anon and S-Ateens will be held on the second floor at the north end of the hotel. Combined events, including meals, will be held in the Rocky Mountain Event Center on the main floor, which is located at the back of the hotel.

As with all international conferences, there will be a variety of breakout sessions for reflection, growth, and strength. There will be approximately seventy-five breakout sessions for SA, approximately thirty-five breakout sessions for S-Anon, and several sessions for S-Ateens.

If you register for the conference with the meal option, it will include Friday and Saturday night dinner, and Saturday lunch. Options are available if you have dietary restrictions or have religious meal requests, and those options are also available through the website. There is also a restaurant located in the hotel, and other locations for meals outside the hotel within a short walking distance. There will be SA and S-Anon speakers at both dinners and Saturday’s lunch. There will be additional speakers on Sunday morning that we have not had before. If you need help working on your steps, a workshop will be available with sponsors that can help you with any step you may be working on.

If you cannot attend the conference in person, an Audio Livestream Webinar of breakout sessions and SA speakers are available. Breakouts and speakers on Saturday and Sunday will be livestreamed. You will still need to register on the website for this option.

There are opportunities to get involved with service. As most of us know, this is a “we program” and “we” cannot recover on our own. We are grateful that our recovery has taught us there is a better way forward with the help of our Higher Power, and we find that God talks to us through many who have walked the path of recovery before us on the SA journey of recovery. We are looking for volunteers in areas such as registration, literature sales, convention help, transportation, and talent. If you would like to volunteer with any of these, there is a place in registration to indicate that you would like to be of service. Please get involved.

On Saturday night, following the meal, there will be a talent show where several of the attendees will perform for all, and will include skits, songs, and other possible entertainment. If you would like to share some talent with the audience, there is also a place in the registration to sign up for entertainment. This could include you individually or as a group.

We certainly are looking forward to having you participate in the conference, and like Bill W. and Dr. Bob have said before, “it is better to be a part of, as opposed to being apart from.”

Registration is now open for Hope Elevated. Hope and recovery are possible. We hope to see you there! Do not delay and register today! Visit https://denverhope2026.org/ for more information.
