ANNOUNCING THE WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE
JANUARY 2027

The World Service Conference is where actions and decisions are made that affect A.R.T.S. Anonymous as a whole. The dates of the next World Service Conference are January 16, 17, 23 with a possible fourth day on January 24, 2027. It will be held on Zoom.

Does your group have a Delegate (or two) to represent it at the World Service Conference? Groups choose the members who will speak for them. The guidelines for serving this important link between the meetings and the whole of A.R.T.S. can be found here: Delegate Information

Does your group or committee have a motion or a topic of discussion they would like to have considered at the Conference? There is a form to submit that, and it is here: Submission Form for Motions and Topics of Discussion

The "Delegate Packet", which will contain what is needed to be an informed participant, will be posted on the website and emailed to the Delegates on November 9, 2026.

It's not too early to encourage each other to make contributions to send Meeting Delegates to the Conference. We suggest that a group or meeting can collect from its members less than $2 a week between now and then to cover the cost. The registration fee has not yet been set, but last year it was $50 for each meeting or group. One registration fee covers all the Delegates and Alternates attending from one meeting or group.

Thank you for your time, your service, and for what it takes to keep A.R.T.S. alive and thriving!
