The General Service Board of Debtors Anonymous is pleased to announce that Ottawa, Ontario, Canada has been selected as the host city for the 2024 World Service Conference in early August. More details will be forthcoming.

The Board wishes to thank the Canadian Feasibility Committee for offering assistance at the 2022 WSC when no bid for 2024 materialized. This committee prepared and sent a Request for Proposal to the convention and tourism boards of Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver and received replies from several hotels and conference centres. In January 2023 the GSB-Conference Support Committee met with venues and conducted site inspections and decided on Ottawa as the ideal location for 2024.

Groups and Intergroups are invited to consider hosting a future World Service Conference in their area. Bids for 2025 are due by 1 July 2023 and will be voted on at the 2023 WSC this August in Newark, NJ. The email address for bids and inquiries is: BidsForWSC@debtorsanonymous.org.
