Whether you’re a longtime attendee, a first-time visitor, or someone simply curious about what we do — we’re so glad you’re here.

The San Diego Spring Round Up is a cherished annual Alcoholics Anonymous convention with Al-Anon and Alateen participation, held every Easter weekend. Together, we create a joyful and meaningful space grounded in fellowship, recovery, and service.

As always, our guiding principle remains clear: to carry the message. We do this best by coming together — and there’s a place for everyone who wants to be of service.

A Note from the Chairperson

My name is Heather, and I have the honor of serving as Chairperson for the 2026 San Diego Spring Round Up. Over the past ten years, this Round Up has played a powerful part in my own recovery — a place where I’ve found hope, friendship, laughter, and purpose.

I’m grateful for every person who helps make this convention possible, and I’m especially excited to welcome anyone new who wants to get involved. No matter your role, know this: we are all on the “Carry The Message” Committee. Together, we create something beautiful — a space where newcomers and oldtimers alike can experience the magic of recovery in action.

If you have questions or would like to connect, feel free to email me at SDSRUChairman@gmail.com.

In Love and Service,
Heather S.
Chairperson, SDSRU 2026

Overview

Leading up to the mid-1970's, there were two prominent conventions in southern California. The Southern California Convention that was started in 1952. And the Palm Springs Round Up, that was started in 1960.

Both of these events were very popular and well attended. The convention agendas included breakfast, lunch and banquet dinners with great speakers, plus entertainment and sporting events.

The combination of enthusiasm created by these events and the fact that AA was growing very fast during the1970's, caused some AA's in San Diego to think about and work toward starting their own event.

After a couple years of coordinating and planning meetings, the San Diego Spring Round Up (SDSRU) kicked off in 1978. And, from its very first year, this event has been a positive influence on those in attendance and has generated enough revenue to cover expenses, maintain a prudent reserve and make 7th Tradition contributions to various AA service entities.

At this writing, forty years later, it seems fair to say that the SDSRU has achieved it's purpose, as stated in the excerpt of the original Policies shown below:

PURPOSE: TO CARRY THE MESSAGE

It is an established fact that those who attend and take an active part in Alcoholics Anonymous Round Ups, such as this one, have a more positive attitude in their solution of the problem of alcoholism and are aided in acquiring the knowledge needed to arrest this devastating disease. In the true spirit of Alcoholics Anonymous, we, the first San Diego Round Up Committee, do hereby establish the following guidelines. In addition, we will henceforth be governed by the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
