PI Newsletter Issue 7 – Oct 2026

Ideas, Innovation and Service in Action
Welcome to the PI Newsletter Issue 7 – October 2026 

This edition highlights how Public Information and Electronic Communications service continues to develop across the Fellowship.
From outreach events and local initiatives to insights from the 2025 Membership Survey, members are finding new ways to carry the message of AA.
We also report on the role of AI in service, introduce BlogIn as a new space for collaboration, and highlight opportunities to get involved in PI & EComms work. Included in this issue is a practical example of AI supporting service through a searchable database of 60 years of Conference Reports, Questions, and Recommendations.
Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hearing your service news!
All the best,
Steve

Inclusivity Seminar – 21-22 May 2027

SAVE THE DATE: Inclusivity Seminar – May 2027
Mark your calendars for 21 and 22 May 2027. This is one event you won’t want to miss.
The Inclusivity Committee is pleased to announce that they will host a two-day seminar, held in person for one representative from each Region and open on Zoom to anyone else interested. The seminar offers a chance to understand who we are, what we would like to achieve, and how you might help shape a more inclusive future. Service strengthens sobriety, and this is an opportunity to be part of meaningful, practical action.
We want AA to feel open and welcoming to anyone who reaches out for help, reflecting the spirit of Tradition 3 in everyday practice.
Formal invitations to Regions and Intergroups will be issued soon.
Programme details, timings, and Zoom links will follow.
For now, the key message is simple: please save the date….21 & 22 May 2027
