Conference Description

The World Service Conference (WSC) is the business meeting of Underearners Anonymous, a Fellowship that follows the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions. It is where Group Service Representatives (GSRs) from UA Meeting Groups and Intergroups, and the UA Trustees gather (on Zoom) to discuss and vote on important issues affecting UA as a whole.

The UA World Service Conference 2025, "Celebrating 20 Years of UA Recovery & Prosperity," offers participants a prosperous balance of service, recovery and fellowship. We welcome participation from all members of our global fellowship.

All fully registered attendees will have access to the Workshops, Art & Talent Shares, and lunchroom activities. Each day of the Conference includes recovery and/or fellowship time.
