How often is the WCNA now scheduled to occur following the changes proposed?

The World Convention of Narcotics Anonymous (WCNA) has undergone changes regarding its scheduling frequency, now set to occur every five years. This shift reflects a strategic decision aimed at enhancing the experience for attendees and ensuring that the event can be planned and executed with adequate resources and preparation.

Choosing to hold the WCNA every five years allows for deeper engagement with the community, as it provides more time to curate content, foster participation, and build excitement leading up to the event. Long-term planning benefits not only the organizers but also the community members, who have a chance to prepare for a larger gathering.

In contrast to the other timeframes mentioned, such as annually or biennially, these options may lead to a rapid succession of events that could dilute the significance of the gathering and complicate the logistics of preparation and participation. The five-year interval strikes a balance between maintaining interest and ensuring a high-quality experience for attendees.
