WCNA 38: The Power of Love
World Services posts information about the convention on wcna.na.org and on the WCNA 38 app. NAWS has no official Facebook presence, and cannot be responsible for information posted there by others. The only social media accounts NA World Services operates are on Instagram: @narcoticsanonymous and @naglobalevents. (We hope you’ll follow us there!)

WCNA 38—29 August through 1 September 2024, at the Walter Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Details and links below
The NA World Convention is an unforgettable experience. This will be the first time we’ve gathered since 2018 – in beautiful Washington, DC. Hotel rooms and special event tickets are still available. Still have questions? Check out our FAQ, and contact us at [email protected].
The FAQ will help explain details that aren’t covered below. We will update the FAQ 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.
Hotels
Hotels will have record of your reservations after 9 August. If you have made hotel reservations through our site and need help with them or have registered and need help making a hotel reservation, contact Conference Direct M–F, 9am–8pm Eastern Time. +1/844.460.9824 US | +1/704.419.8426 international [email protected]
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.
Entertainment
This year we have more entertainment than ever included with your registration! Every night we prove that clean addicts know how to party! Enjoy performances by Curtis Salgado and Go-Go greats Proper Utensils, Back to Black and the Classic Rock Experience; and nightly dances with bumpin DJs.
Tickets will be sold on-site for the Blues Brunch, the Jazz Lunch, and comedy show, while they last. Get in the groove with the Power of Love.
