The ECCNA is the annual European Convention and conference of Narcotics Anonymous in Europe
The ECCNA – European Conference and Convention of Narcotics Anonymous – is an annual event that combines the celebration of recovery with service-oriented workshops. Each year the EDM – European Delegates Meeting – delegates the responsibility for planning and hosting the ECCNA to one of the bidding NA Communities.
The European Convention and Conference combines two separate events on the same date and venue – one is the European Delegates Meeting (EDM), the other a recovery oriented, Europe Convention (ECCNA).
