In February of 1948, Bill W. was In Seattle, WA, and spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of AA’s and their families. Following the meeting, Bill and some other members from Seattle were driving to Vancouver B.C. when Bill elaborated on his plan for a world conference.

The First Pacific Northwest Conference (PNC) convened in Vancouver, BC, Canada Area 79 in May of 1948. The oldest continuing conference in AA still provides an opportunity for AA's from all over the Pacific Northwest to gather together and share, learn, reach out and have fun. The conference typically includes speakers, panels, workshop, and please join us in any of our fellowship events.
