Chairwoman's Message

Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I am the Chair for Women-to-Women 2025 this year. My name is Linda R. I have been a member of the W2W committee for a few years. For the last three years, I have chaired the Hospitality Room. Some of you might remember me. This year, we have wonderful speakers who will share their experience, strength, and hope. We also have fun activities, a talent show, so get your acts together, and the beautiful surroundings of the Dana at Mission Bay San Diego.

Looking forward to seeing you all for this fun filled weekend.

Thank you, lr

Please note that the Resort Fee and parking fee are waived for the Woman to Woman conference, so if you are assessed either fee, please ask the hotel to remove it as an attendee to our conference. 

Please note that you must be wearing your badges (which you will receive when you register) throughout the weekend. It will be your golden ticket into meetings, dinners, and a light fare on Sunday.

If you have not attended Woman to Woman San Diego before, be prepared to meet other recovering women in an intimate setting that will surely enhance your sobriety. We offer topic discussion meetings throughout the weekend and a main speaker on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning.  

Dinner begins on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and is Buffet style.  After dinner, we will have a short break, and then our Friday evening speaker will share their experience, strength & hope.  After our speaker, we will have a few topic discussion meetings available, or you can grab your swimsuit and go for a swim or relax in the Jacuzzi and meet new friends.  We will also have some games in the hospitality suite.

Activities will be available during the weekend (Make a God Box, walk along Mission Bay, Jewelry making, and Drop the Resentment workshop). You can also rent kayaks, paddle boards, or a bicycle at the hotel. Saturday evening, after dinner, we will have a Talent Show followed by a dance. So bring your dancing shoes and get ready to cheer on your fellow attendees!

The atmosphere is casual, but some women choose to dress up for dinner. Please note that Friday’s dinner theme is Blazing Trails, and Saturday's dinner theme is a Night of Glamor, so if you would like to dress accordingly, please do so. It is a personal choice, so feel free to dress comfortably. 

We do sell “Opportunity Tickets” to raise funds for our scholarship fund and will be giving away some great prizes. We will have 50/50 cash drawings each night/day, so bring some cash to the main speaker meetings.

We look forward to seeing you September 20-22.

You will find  a digital version of the 2024 Program so you can look up meeting locations, times, and topics under our 2024 Registration tab on our website. Paper copies will also be available at check in. 

In support of Tradition 11, (Our Public Relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films (and the internet) none of the meetings can be recorded, posted on social media, or photographed.

Aloha,

I remember my first Woman to Woman San Diego conference, it was my first sober AA conference. I baked loaves of bread to make money to be able to go. (I never want to bake on that mass level again lol) Between the speakers, the meetings, the food, the snacks (always got to have snacks), and the games, I was blown away. There was this electricity in the air through the whole weekend. Complete strangers were coming together and bonding through stories of some of their best and hardest moments in their lives. I don't think I ever cried and laughed (so hard I couldn't breathe) so much in my life. I may have started that weekend a complete stranger, awkward and shy but I left that weekend a more vibrant woman, with new sisters from all over the United States. This is the magic I want everyone to be able to experience. The woman to woman committee has been hard at work picking out goodies, organizing activities and meetings and every detail of this year's conference. So tell your friends, tell your sisters and come and join us for the magic of the 2023 Woman to Woman San Diego conference!

My name is Michelle, and I am an alcoholic woman. I wanted to let you know we are planning on having our conference this year in person. Last year we went virtual and it was an amazing day of meetings, speakers and fellowship. I am so excited that we had over 400 participants. These women had a wonderful time, can you imagine this in person? I can. I have experienced the conference for myself in person. It is a magical weekend of speaker meetings, growing friendships, topic meetings and plain fun. I hope to see all of you in person this year at Woman-to-Woman San Diego.
