NAATW Workshop Sharing

Share your NAATW workshop experiences, presentations, and technology insights with AA members worldwide. This category documents and preserves discussions from the National AA Technology Workshop (NAATW), the annual gathering where AA members explore how technology can serve our primary purpose.

What to Post Here

Post summaries of sessions you attended, share presentation materials, discuss key takeaways, and connect with others who participated in the same workshops. Furthermore, whether you presented a session, attended as a participant, or joined virtually, your insights help spread valuable technology knowledge throughout the fellowship. Please include the year and format — in-person or virtual — of your NAATW workshop experience to help others find relevant discussions.

What This Category Covers

This space serves as a living archive of NAATW workshop experiences across many years and formats. Topics include digital tools for groups and committees, online meeting platforms, website management, and emerging technologies supporting AA’s service structure. Additionally, follow-up questions from workshop sessions are welcome here — the conversation doesn’t have to end when the event does.

Why It Matters

Not every AA member can attend NAATW in person. Moreover, valuable technology insights from each workshop deserve to reach the wider fellowship long after the event concludes. Consequently, your contributions here make NAATW’s knowledge accessible to archivists, webmasters, intergroup volunteers, and anyone else doing technology service in AA.

For information about past NAATW events — including some presentations — and future gatherings, visit naatw.org. To explore other TIAA Forum discussion spaces, see the Forum Categories page. New to the forum? Get started on the Join page.

Instructions for Completing this Form

Name:

The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.

Email:

Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a secondary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.

Affirmation:

By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).

Topic Interests:

If you are interested in conversations in more than one  technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.

If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
