The weekend of the convention is expected to be a busy one in Santa Barbara, so book your accommodations early!
There are several hotels and motels within easy walking distance of the convention, and many more just a short drive away. Of course you won't want to miss the Convention Barbecue and Banquet, but for breakfast and other meals there are restaurants close by as well.
Despite any convention discount, you may get better rates through a travel agent or online travel service such as Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity.
The Santa Barbara Convention is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous or any other group.
