NAATW – National A.A. Technology Workshop

The National AA Technology Workshop (NAATW) is an annual gathering for A.A. members interested in using technology in service to the fellowship. Attendees share experience, connect with like-minded members, and bring ideas back to their home groups and service committees.
NAATW members are volunteers with no special authority — experienced across technology fields but grounded in A.A. principles. The group suggests service roles, encourages sharing of useful solutions, offers experience to other service committees, and works to develop deeper guidance on applying A.A. Traditions to technology questions.
The NAATW steering community ensures continuity of the Workshop, preserves and shares Workshop content, and serves as a clearinghouse for those working at the intersection of technology and A.A. service.

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.
