The National AA Technology Workshop (NAATW)
The National AA Technology Workshop (NAATW) is an annual gathering of Alcoholics Anonymous members who are passionate about using technology to support AA’s primary purpose. The Workshop provides a space to share experience, explore ideas, connect with like-minded members, and bring practical solutions back to our groups, districts, areas, and service entities.
Who We Are
NAATW is more than just an event—we are an organization committed to supporting and sustaining the Workshop each year. We help produce and preserve Workshop content (when appropriate), and we act as a clearinghouse to connect AA members interested in how technology can enhance our service efforts.
We are AA members—trusted servants, not officials—with no special authority. We are a group of volunteers from diverse technology backgrounds, offering our experience to the Fellowship. We are not affiliated with AA’s General Service Office and operate on limited financial resources.
What We Do
- Encourage service in the area of technology within AA;
- Support trusted servants who are exploring or implementing tech solutions;
- Share experience with tools, platforms, and best practices;
- Offer guidance and collaboration to other AA service committees;
- Develop principles for technology use that align with our Traditions
What We Don’t Do
- Create or endorse specific software to solve all of AA’s tech needs;
- Act as a central decision-making IT authority for AA;
- Provide a list of “conference-approved” tools or vendors;
- Replace the work of existing AA service committees;
- Dictate how groups should operate or what tools they must use
