WCNA FAQCancellation FAQ

The FAQ will help explain some of the details that aren’t covered by the other links below. We will update the FAQ periodically, as more information becomes available.

NA World Services contracts with a number of providers to help make the World Convention a special occasion. We offer these links as a service, and not to imply an endorsement or affiliation beyond the contracted service.

Registration

Registration for WCNA 38 begins at $175 US. We know it’s more than other conventions. WCNA costs a lot to produce—and more this year than ever before. We expect this to be the largest convention we’ve ever held, and the facilities required to hold us—the security required for a large event in a capital city— translations, ADA accommodations, equipment and labor—the technology to make the meetings visible and available in the convention center and around the world—the costs will exceed revenue from registration. We count on merchandise sales to make up the remainder, and meeting our hotel room blocks helps defray some facilities expenses. The WCNA workgroup and more than 1500 volunteers make this event possible. Each of us demonstrates the Power of Love in our actions and goodwill as we bring an event this big and complex into reality.  Click here for registration.

Hotels

We have contracted with over 25 hotels for this event, and have negotiated some great rates for members. Because there is so much to see and do in DC, our hotels have agreed to honor convention rates three days before and after WCNA 38. While we realize some people are accustomed to booking on their own, it really helps WCNA when you book rooms in our room block. And because so many rooms in the major hotels are reserved for us, trying to book directly with the hotels may result in a message that they are sold out, or available only at a premium price. A map of the convention site and hotels, and information about each hotel are available. Click here for hotel reservations.
