About Chisholm Trail Convention
The Chisholm Trail Convention is an annual Alcoholics Anonymous convention with Al‑Anon participation held in Georgetown, Texas, offering a full weekend of speakers, meetings, panels, and activities focused on recovery and fellowship.
Founded in 1991, and now celebrating its 35th annual gathering, the convention is rooted in the Twelve Traditions and the Twelve Concepts for World Service, and its purpose is to provide opportunities for service, connection, and spiritual growth for AA members, Al‑Anon members, and their families throughout Central Texas.
Organized as an independent nonprofit public charity based in Georgetown, the Chisholm Trail Convention is not affiliated with, and does not represent, Alcoholics Anonymous World Services or Al‑Anon Family Groups, but seeks to help carry the message by creating a welcoming place where we can recover together, one day at a time..
