Besides monthly assemblies, Area 47 holds an annual convention, usually the 3rd Sunday in May. The purpose of the convention is to provide a venue for the delegate to give a report of the business conducted during the General Service Conference held in April. The convention usually begins Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday morning with panel workshops, marathon meetings, evening speaker meetings and fellowship. The delegate's report is usually given Saturday afternoon. A registration fee to cover the cost of the facility is required to attend any of the meetings except the meeting for the delegate's report is free (cost covered by Area 47). Districts throughout Area 47 take turns hosting the convention so it is in a different city each year.
Currently we are accepting bids from districts for next year's convention which will be a weekend in May 2011. To contact last year's committee: convention@aacny.org
