WCNA38 (The Power of Love)

After almost 30 years, the World Convention returned to Washington, DC, 29 August – 1 September 2024! As expected, it was the largest convention ever held grossing over 18,000. The convention proved to be equipped with the facilities required to hold a massive crowd, the security required for a large event in a capital city, translations, ADA accommodations, equipment and labor, and the technology to make the meetings visible and available in the convention center and around the world.

The World Convention of Narcotics Anonymous (WCNA) workgroup and more than 1500 volunteers made this event possible. Each team member exemplified this year’s theme, the “Power of Love” with their actions and goodwill to bring the complex vision into reality. The NA World Convention is an unforgettable experience. This was the first time we’ve gathered since 2018 in the District of Columbia The Grand Hyatt Washington on 1000 H Street, NW was also used for the large volume of guest and for all night marathon meetings.

Participants included Mark Spence, Oxford House, Kathleen Gibson, CEO Oxford House, Tony “GLOBE” and our DC Recovery team members Anna Mable Jones, Community Liaison, Community Bridges, Janice Ferebee, David Mays, Judy West and Brian Person, Community Outreach Coordinator.

What a success!
