Travel together

Ride share & room share

Travelling with other members makes the Forum more affordable, and more fun. Offer or ask for a ride or a room, and the host committee will try to match you with members from your area.

  • Book in the official A.A. room block as soon as it opens.
  • Share a room or ride with members from your area.
  • Ask your group, district or area whether they support Forum travel.
  • Downtown is walkable — you may not need a car.

Shared rides and rooms are arranged between members; the host committee does not check them. Use good judgment, and tell someone you trust about your plans.

For example: Maria G. Please do not give your full name.
